   Try setting up a filter process (via set-process-filter) that
   interprets the output of the subprocess and writes it into the buffer
   just like a terminal writes the output to its screen.

Emacs 18 comes with a library which does this for termcap-using
programs.  Try m-x terminal-emulator.

It doesn't work with terminfo, though it could be made to if somebody
made the effort.
