I think this is backwards.  The termcap support library has been -ltermcap
since 4.0 BSD was released.  Grepping through the `Changes in the VAX
system in the Fourth Berkeley Distribution, November, 1980' document reveals
the following:

	.BP termcap
	Is the new name for the previously misnamed \fBtermlib\fR library.
