Add the Termcap Library so any terminal can be used

I believe Termcap is a server-side library, and FabGL is mostly a client library.

termcap is used to tell a host computer what escape sequences to send to a terminal for the various cursor control functions. This allows a program written for terminal use to not have to rely on hard-coded escape sequences for a specific terminal emulation - it can simply make a curses (or ncurses) call for a cursor movement operation and the api will figure out what escape sequence needs to be set based upon the termcap entry for the terminal being used.
