I'm (superficially, at least) aware of this issue, but I believe my use
in this case is correct. I was making a reference to the kernel Linux
(specifically, linux/drivers/char/console.c and
linux/drivers/char/consolemap.c, from which I've borrowed code), and the
"linux" termcap/terminfo entry. There was one incorrect case in the
README that I've fixed.

I've added a GPL notice to all source files.

OpenStep names are traditionally mixed-case. GNUstep follows this
convention, so I decided to do the same.
