For this case, we can't solve his problem (simply because differences in

For the usual case (fallback to existing values) it's certainly doable

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?
nothing - right now I'm using HPUX on one of my windows. Changing ncurses
wouldn't help there.
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".
I don't know - what comes to my mind is the repeated scenario of the
gnome-terminal, etc., users complaining that ncurses must have bugs
because it's supposed to be "xterm" and isn't working just like xterm.
