struct terminal in /usr/include/term.h



Hi,

Today, I found that emacs trunk no longer built on NetBSD-current due
to symbol conflict (see below).  Emacs uses struct terminal for a long
time for own purpose but the conflict doesn't appear until
emacs/src/sysdep.c is changed to include <term.h> recently.

It looks like Linux or FreeBSD uses `struct term' instead of `struct
terminal' to typedef `TERMINAL'.

Is there any reason we picked the symbol `terminal' instead?  If there
is no specific reason, I guess it is better to rename it.
