When I shell out of emacs using terminal-emulator or something similar,
my TERM environment variable is set to "emacs" term type.  Our termcap
file does not define an emacs terminal type, and I can't seem to find
the termcap definition in the distribution source code for emacs.

What gives?  I must be doing something wrong.
