I have completed a patch to tmux which enables 256 color support in  
fbterm (or any other term that uses non standard 256 color escape  
sequences) as well as xterm / etc.

It does this by honoring terminfo setaf / setab entries for escape  
sequences on 256 / 88 color terminals.

i have a few questions.

- should there be a "ignore-terminfo" switch to forcibly set the  
escape sequences to the xterm-256color standard?
- i didn't change any of the stuff with aix terms because I have no  
way of testing this to make sure I didn't break it.
- it seems odd to have the magical mystery 48 / 38 numbers in calls to  
tty_try_256 now.  I replaced them with #defines but left the values as  
48/38  is there a better way to do this?
- is there a test suite I ought to run?  it works for me on both  
xterm256-color, 16 color console and fbterm - but that's about all  
I've got to test on.

secondarily -

how does one submit a patch to this project?
