Thank you very much, Mr. Triplett!

I won't be applying these patches right away, as they're not actually
necessary for the next Debian package release, but this ensures that
XTerm #187 is uncontaminated by the XFree86 1.1 license which is
important given all the GPL-licensed derivatives of xterm in the world.
:)

I have submitted your reimplementation to Thomas Dickey, in the event
he's interested in using it.

I do note that it may be difficult to tell which code is yours and which
is "XFree86's", given the trivial nature of the changes.  Nevertheless I
appreciate your working with me to establish a good procedure for
circumstances when this will not be the case.

Thanks again!
