I don't see why, unless we seriously think that some program other
than gdb is going to want to use it. If I understand the earlier
messages, the only point to the minimal termcap stuff is to use it
with readline on MinGW. That seems fairly special purpose to me, and
not the sort of thing we usually put it into libiberty.

I agree with Ian here. We should not add the additional burden of
maintining this both trees unless there actually is a benefit.
