	Not only planning, I already have a semi-clean xterm tree and I need to set 
up proper options for configure and check that every thing we shipped with 
X.Org is going to be shipped with latest xterm. After that, it will be time 
for xterm-256 or whatever.

	I do not expect to spend a lot of additional time in xterm, it seems an easy 
target.

	I will have to contact Branden to open a new repository in necrotic.

	Best regards,


		Ender.
