summary: Maintain a terminfo for PuTTY's terminal emulator
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them.
priority: medium: This should be fixed one day.

It would be nice to maintain our own terminfo/termcap description of the terminal emulated by PuTTY, as an alternative to having PuTTY claim to be an xterm and hoping everybody's xterms behave similarly.

A couple of people have submitted possible ones:

NB that this forces on background erase, which people may not want.
