I think this is reason alone for it to be a separate package.
I have this built as a Cygwin package using the default configure options at the moment. The only patch required was to Makefile.in (attached) to get it to stop appending .exe to the uxterm shell script.
Thomas, can you recommend any configure options we should be using? I can think that the following might be useful:
--enable-toolbar --enable-wide-chars --with-Xaw3d
Any thoughts?
I think most are enabled by default. On Linux I only added --with-terminal-type=xterm-xfree86 --enable-256-color --enable-load-vt-fonts --disable-tek4014 --enable-toolbar --disable-vt52 --enable-luit.
--with-terminal-type=xterm-xfree86 was just so I wouldn't get it set to xterm by default (lynx etc are black and white with it).
--disable-tek4014 --disable-vt52 seems to be recommend because it adds bloat and only a few people use it.
You can presumably replace the xc/program/xterm/ with xterm-185/ and the make World will use it.
I don't think --with-Xaw3d is worth, as it adds another dependency.
