I have a terminfo file for cygwin on my Debian box. /etc/terminfo/c/cygwin and /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin (I think there's a symlink somewhere in one of the paths), it comes from ncurses-base. I'm running sid last updated yesterday. -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
