Changes since 197:
* instead of setting $DISPLAY, check for the unset variable and
warn/exit on this condition (comments by H Merijn Brand and
Bernhard R Link).
* fix a typo in Imakefile from patch #198 (reports/patches by
Stefan Dirsch, and Mike Castle).
* add utmpDisplayId resource to allow users to control whether the
display identifier (display number and screen number) are
retained in the connection information recorded in utmp
(discussion with Edoardo Tirtarahardja).
* add bellOnReset resource to allow users to disable bell which
sounds on hard reset since patch #183 changes to DECSCL
(discussion with Danek Duvall).
* improve $WINDOWID for configuration with toolbar by making it
refer to the top-level shell rather than the parent of the
current window. For that case, the parent is a form widget,
which does not have a name, which made the $WINDOWID not very
useful as a parameter for xwininfo (suggested by Dave
Bodenstab).
* fix a typo in WhichVFont() macro from patch #197 changes which
broke the --disable-active-icon configuration (report by Ralf
S. Engelschall).
* improve some limit checks (Gentoo Bugzilla #75604).
* add --disable-setuid option to configure script (Gentoo Bugzilla #76453).
* add --disable-full-tgetent option to configure script, allowing
one to ignore a termcap library in favor of ncurses/curses
(Gentoo Bugzilla #69926).
* modify configure script to choose useful warning options for
Intel version 8.0 compiler.
* update config.guess, config.sub
* make active-icon work properly when TrueType fonts are used
(Debian #286068).
* correct change from patch #157 which uses getlogin() to check
for an alias; the storage used for the related getpwuid() call
was overwritten by the data used for comparison (patch by Per
Hedeland).
* correct case of SCS for character set 0 (line-drawing) to allow
it to be selected into GR.
* fix a file-descriptor leak (Redhat Bugzilla #139597).
* modify creat_as() to only fork if xterm is actually running as
setuid and/or setgid. This works around a Cygwin bug which hangs
when logging is enabled and makes xterm a little faster for
systems using interfaces such as utempter (report by Al
Goodman).
* modify Cleanup() to avoid operations such as X calls that might
use unsafe functions when it is called by a signal handler
(report by Michiel Boland).
* fix bugs in patch #191 and in SRM changes from patch #197 that
broke DECSET 38: switch to Tek4014 emulation (report by Dave
Bodenstab).
* fix for manpage escapes (Marc La France).
* improve on IRIX-specific change for Imakefile in XFree86 CVS
versus resize linking against termcap library to reflect
definitions for USE_TERMCAP in resize.c
