Having key binding depend on the terminal type (as with "load term/myterm")
is a good idea, but it doesn't go far enough.  There are many different
kinds of terminals here, all of them already adequately described in our
/etc/termcap file.  I would like to have the deletion character be ^H on
some, and DEL on others, as described in the termcap file.  The best way
to do this would be to read from the stty settings in effect before Emacs
runs.  Is this possible?  It (almost) works in VI.
