actually I spent a couple of hours on that yesterday and modified the
configure script so it would work around that particular type of quoting
issue.  Right now I'm making some additional changes so I can run the
configure script against an X build tree (having gotten at the same time a
report that indicates I have to refine the freetype configure checks). I
might get done with that today; when I do, I'll put up a #187 tarball,
since the testing involved will address both of these.

for the minimal set, you don't need the utf8 stuff.  See in Makefile.in,
this

          SRCS1 = button.c charproc.c charsets.c cursor.c \
                  data.c doublechr.c fontutils.c input.c \
                  $(MAINSRC) menu.c misc.c print.c ptydata.c \
                  screen.c scrollbar.c tabs.c util.c xstrings.c \
                  VTPrsTbl.c $(EXTRASRC)
and
           HDRS = VTparse.h data.h error.h main.h menu.h proto.h \
                  ptyx.h version.h xstrings.h xterm.h $(EXTRAHDR)

The utf8 source would be in $(EXTRASRC).  configure.in updates the shell
variable $EXTRASRCS according to extra features that are added to the
base.  (resize only needs resize.c and xstrings.c).
