   ug, I don't want to sound dense, but I don't think the patch itself is 
right, at least to the current source... for instance in your patch 
called termcaps.dif, here is the cut of the first few lines....

diff -urbBN ../winsup.orig/Makefile.in ./Makefile.in
--- ../winsup.orig/Makefile.in  Tue Feb 25 13:02:27 1997
+++ ./Makefile.in       Sat Feb 01 18:14:57 1997

so I look at the current Makefile.in in the newest source, and here is 
the first few lines.....

# Makefile.in for the winsup directory.

Notice, the first line DOESN'T have the "#" char at the end of the line., 
but your patch expects it to be there. The entire patch file you sent 
have these probs, so I thought maybe you based the patches on an older 
source tarball...

Thanks again,
Scott Kilau
