Has anyone been able to build this for Mac OS X?  The various little 
testing tools run under Terminal.app quite nicely.  However, after I 
*finally* managed to build mterm, they just generate escape 
sequences.  It sounds most interesting though, I think I'm going to 
have to find time to try this out on another Unix box.
