Xterm patch #198 (Thomas Dickey).

hardly enlightening :-), you maintain xterm in a separate tree and it
is imported into XFree86 (maybe by you but none the less you don't
develop it in their tree...)

moving xterm into extra from programs would at least clearly point out
that it is an external tree that is imported into Xorg every so often
as opposed to Xorg being the one true version (or XFree86 for that
matter)...

btw if you want commit privs to Xorg I'm sure there would be no problems...
