In the early days of b18 I tried to build xterm but it wasn't possible since
it didn't have pseudo tty support. Since then Sergey Okhapkin and others have
added many patches to cygwin.dll (including ptty support), so that xterm might
compile by now.

However, Sergey has compiled "rxvt", a xterm look-alike that AFAIK
only lacks the Tektronix support that xterm has. You should find
rxvt in recent distributions of X client libs, or from Segey's
home page, http://www.lexa.ru/sos
