Thoughts? This should fix term on FreeBSD (and should make it more reliably color output everywhere). I'll get around to my new shiny version someday but that could take a while.

Basically, if looking up the terminfo database fails, term will now check to see if the terminal name matches a known ANSI-capable terminal name (by prefix). If it does, it uses a predefined minimal ANSI termcap definition.

Looks good. I appreciate that full support on BSD-like systems will take a lot of effort, but this will hold us over for now. :)

Parakleta commented 7 years ago

I don't have an active rust project to test this against for now so I don't have any feedback, but I wanted to say thanks for the effort.

Seems reasonable!
