Sorry, you've totally lost me.

This is about the TERM value set by the terminal emulator, for maximum
compatibility across multiple hosts, including hosts other than the one
on which it is running.  How can rxvt-unicode - or xterm - do anything
about that?

I'd love to be able to set "TERMLIST=screen;vt100" and have some smart
curses library go "I don't know what screen is, but here, have a
vt100".
