Fbterm should set the TERM to fbterm not linux.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch a program other than the shell with fbterm (like fbterm -- screen)
2. The program will be launched using TERM=linux

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
TERM should be set to fbterm.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.7

Please provide any additional information below.
Line 83 of /src/lib/shell.cpp
-- setenv("TERM","linux",1)
++setenv("TERM","fbterm",1)

As a workaround, you can launch the "shell" program using /usr/bin/env 
TERM=fbterm program.

also useful would be a config variable to set $TERM.

Attached is my patch to solve this problem.
Please note that:
1. The modifications break the (relative) independence of the code in src/lib 
from the code in src, since a line containing `#include "../fbconfig.h"' was 
introduced in src/lib/shell.cpp.
2. The modifications are based on myfbterm (see issue 56), which itself is 
based on fbterm 1.7. This patch applies to fbterm 1.7 nicely (just with some 
offsets that can be done by patch(1) automatically).

I can confirm this behavior in fbterm 1.7 as well. I do not set TERM in my 
.zshrc, yet it is "linux" when fbterm starts, irrespective of how I start it.

$ fbterm --version
