What I did to resolve the situation was particularly easy (since I have root
access on both computers):
JUST copy file /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin from the cygwin (Windows) computer to /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin in the remote host.
That solves the problem.
My questions:
1. in case we don't have root access, how to solve this? I think we could use $HOME/.terminfo subdirectory to contain the compiled terminfo descriptors for our own purposes.
