So your saying that the TERMCMD no longer works? We have to set both 
TERMCMD and OE_TERMINAL?

That does not makes sense, If I set TERMCMD to use screen then it should 
use screen, with out me having to also set OE_TERMINAL?

Or test TERMCMD go away at this point?

In either case, maybe we need to update the local.conf also.
