I have a fixed version of vt close to release status. The results from an
old version of vttest suggest that it will be adequate for running unix
sessions as a vt100, with a few limitations.

I hope to be able to release a patch for vt to correct some of the more
blatant errors in the vt100 protocol handler. My version has too many
changes to be considered a patch.
