terminfo: Support more terminfo directory structures
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
OS X's terminfo uses the hex representation of the first character of
the terminal name as the directory name.

Ubuntu seems to use /lib/terminfo instead of /usr/share/terminfo, at
least on the one machine I have access to.
