I agree with Andrey here, that we should use "ti" and "te" sequences
acquired from termcap database instead of hardcoded ones. The problem is
that Andrey uses direct putp() calls. The putp() belongs to ncurses and
it doesn't seem to work when slang support is enabled.

I propose this way to write termcap sequences to the terminal what
should work even with slang:

#ifdef HAVE_SLANG
  SLtt_write_string (ti_cap);
#else
  putp (ti_cap);
#endif

and similarly for the te_cap. The question is whether not to call
SLtt_initialize () and friends in case of slang instead as slang takes
care of setting proper ti/te sequences itself.
