The code is correct.  It should NOT take into consideration XON/XOFF,
pad baud rade and no pad character.

Lets take for example XON/XOFF.  If I define two terminfo definitions
with everything the same but the XON/XOFF boolean, ncurses should
send the same strings.  The cursor movement would have the exact same
cost regardless of the settings for XON/XOFF.
