Nope, the buildfarm just blew up that theory: Andres' critters are
failing in the wake of fac1c04fe, with symptoms exactly like those
of my franken-libedit build.  So newer libtinfo doesn't fix it.

What has to have broken those machines was the change to explicitly
force TERM to "xterm".  Now I'm wondering what their prevailing
setting was before that.  Maybe it was undef, or some absolutely
vanilla thing that prevents libtinfo from thinking it can use any
escape sequences at all.  I'm going to go find out, because if we
can use that behavior globally, it'd be a heck of a lot safer
solution than the path of dealing with escape sequences explicitly.
