Right now it only affects alpha, netwinder, sgimips & vax (plus pmax
in my tree), but it does leave them with a ctwm which cannot not open
a Terminal window.

Obviously the ideal world would be to get everything on 1.20 Xorg, but
its probably worth getting uxterm in the 1.10 dist (as that could also
be trivially pulled up into 9.x)

It's on my list for when I get my initial changes committed, but I
would obviously be very happy if someone else wants to get out a mask
& torch and start exploring in that area :)
