Nah, it just needed a bit more magic applied to the test suite.  I didn't
read the Term::Cap documentation thoroughly enough.  I have to set TERM in
the environment and make sure that TERMCAP matches it, but once that's
done, it's possible to statically set all of the terminal information.
That should work on any Unix; I have *no* idea what Term::Cap does on
Windows or VMS.

(In general, I have no access to Windows, Mac, or VMS systems, so I can't
test there.  But I'm definitely willing to accept patches to make life
easier for users of those systems.  The current podlators apparently works
okay on OS/2 from other reports I've gotten.)

Cleaned up in my development sources, and the test now passes on Linux,
HP-UX, and Tru64 (sorry, should have tested that myself before the last
release).  I have a few other fixes to Pod::Text::Termcap pending and want
to clean up some documentation issues; expect another release with those
changes and the core test patches added in a few days.

Thanks!
