Heh, indeed, every function I needed has been moved to termio.
This solves the problem for me.

However, the documentation for oldlinux is still there.  It was seeing it
what prompted me into thinking that the lack of oldlinux is an omission.
Rather, the omission is that the docs for it are still there.

And there's not a single word about termio.


But oh well, outdated documentation is not a packaging problem.
