[GRASS5] vt100 error with osx + xterm error

[John Huddleston]

Well, I fixed the error for Cygwin.  It turned out that the
/usr/lib/terminfo directory was a symbolic link to the
./share/terminfo directory.   I removed the symbolic
link, moved the share terminfo directory to /usr/lib and
created a symbolic link from share to ../lib for the
terminfo directory.   No more error message.  That's
a weird one.   It might be because I am using the X-win32
server from StarNET.  Programs compiled outside of
Cygwin do not recognize the Cygwin symbolic links.  The
xfree binary should work OK.
