632 In that case, there is no advantage in using the --enable-getcap-cache
635 See also the --with-hashed-db option.
637 --enable-getcap-cache
640 NOTE: this sounds good - it makes ncurses run faster the second time.
641 But look where the data comes from - an /etc/termcap containing lots of

765 Compile-in support for user-definable terminal capabilities. Use the
766 -x option of tic and infocmp to treat unrecognized terminal
767 capabilities as user-defined strings. This option is the default,

771 Enable experimental terminal-driver. This is currently used for the
772 MinGW port, by providing a way to substitute the low-level terminfo

778 and --enable-getcap-cache options.
780 Termcap support requires run-time parsing rather than loading

782 cannot have termcap support since run-time parsing is done in the
