Patch #243 - 2009/3/28
* revert change to default for allowTcapOps (request by Bram Moolenaar).
* reallocate result returned by xtermEnvLocale() to avoid reference to
freed memory after handling menuLocale resource.
* fix an old (X11R5) bug in tek4014 for switching fontsizes.
* add resource defaultString to make configurable the use of "#" when
pastes of UTF-8 text fail due to limitations in the current locale settings.
* make the set of selection target Atom's configurable by two new
resources eightBitSelectTypes and utf8SelectTypes, e.g., to use the TEXT
Atom in preference to UTF8_STRING (discussion with Stanislav Sedov
regarding koi8rxterm and the FreeBSD port).
* modify handling of TARGETS Atom by making it return exactly the set of
targets as those which xterm is currently providing.
* set MANPAGER and PAGER explicitly to /bin/cat in minstall.sh to work
around /etc/man.conf's with those variables already set (report by
Mar'yasin Semion).
* improve error-checking of tcap-query parser.
* add check for keyboard tcap), which ensures that terminal descriptions
containing the same string for shifted/unshifted keys will be seen by
tcap-query as only the unshifted key. (This would only happen with an
incorrect terminal description).
* fix conversion for input event-state to modifier-parameter which made
tcap-query feature not work with tcapFunctionKeys (keyboard type tcap).
* add "DEF_ALLOW_XXX" definitions to main.h to allow overriding the
default compiled-in values for "allowxxx" resources.
* remove check on bell-percentage added in patch #242, which disallowed
zero/negative values (Redhat Bugzilla #487829).

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here
This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.
If you are porting this to a machine that has problems with overlapping
bcopy's, watch out!
There are two documents on xterm: the man page, xterm.man, which describes
how to use it, and ctlseqs.ms, which describes the control sequences it
understands.
