This is a reasonable workaround, but the real problem seems to be that nativesdk 
python/ncurses return crap (strings with embedded control codes) when they don't 
know what the TERM is.  I think this is the real underlying problem that needs 
to be fixed, unfortunately I have no idea what the cause is.

The alternative is to somehow enforce terminal settings when using the 
buildtools-tarball are one of the known terminals.
