hmm... still not there: I installed OpenBSD 5.8 this afternoon and tested
the suggested changes, but found problems with it:

a) perhaps a quibble, but a US PC-keyboard can't get those F12-F24 keys.

b) bold, blink and underline are rendered as colors (seen in vttest),
   when they work.  The resulting sgr string isn't working for me in
   ncurses.  Just the bold attribute by itself works.

c) since bold, etc., conflict with colors, I'd add ncv#42 to cover that.

I'll continue investigating this, but at the moment looks like no patch
tonight.
