Very interested. Also interested if anyone has been able to compile a working rxvt under SVR4 (Esix, in particular, I think it's X11R4), so that I can stop having people running rxvt off of my FreeBSD machine so that they get visible colors on some of the sourceless apps that won't distinguish what's highlighted without color. It's sick and demented, having people on a SVR4 machine using rsh to execute rlogin (back to the starting machine) in an rxvt, just to have color.
