OK, thanks for the information. So, I think that Eterm-color was used
as a side effect of case-insensitivity, and this was a bug.

Emacs installs eterm-color definition in its own directories, but I don't
know why it isn't used on Mac OS X.

Case-sensitivity is handled as of ncurses 5.7 (but not before).
