The MSDOS build does not use the configure script, it uses its own
config.bat, and relies on src/Makefile.in to mention DOS-specific
files in MSDOS_OBJ. So if the configure script is modified to never
use termcap.c and termcap.o is added to MSDOS_OBJ, I think the effect
is what you suggest above.
Btw, maybe I'm blind, but configure checks only for termcap.h, it
never references -ltermcap or anything else that has "termcap" as a
substring. Would removing termcap.h from the script be all that is
needed for Unix platforms to not use termcap.c?
