           Summary: irc/epic5 (also epic4): termcap option is nonsensical,

on both irc/epic4 and irc/epic5, there is an on-by-default TERMCAP option which
configures the port to use termcap (with a description that implies instead of
libncurses)

This doesn't make sense.  libtermcap is symlinked to libncurses.  It's the same
thing!

I can assume this wasn't always the case and the option is some carryover from
a long time again.

I'm in the  middle of documenting all ncurses ports and I'm stuck on these two.
 I would suggest removing the TERMCAP option and just linking with libncurses.

I can make that happen if you agree conceptually with the approach.
