  SVN rev 197470 on 2009-09-24 20:33:14Z by ed
  
  Make SCS work in 8-bit mode.
  
  This means we can finally do things like VT100 box drawing when using
  Syscons (8-bit characters). As far as I know, the only remaining issue
  is the absense of proper escape sequences for special keyboard
  characters (cursor, F1 to F12, etc) and xterm emulation should be ready
  for general use.
  
  Enabling xterm would have the following advantages:
  
  - Easier possible migration to Unicode. cons25 termcap entries are very
    8-bit centric. They use things like CP437 characters for box drawing,
    etc.
  
  - Better support for SSH'ing to other operating systems/devices. Most
    switches use VT100-style admin interfaces.
  
  - Reduced bandwidth, because applications can now use things like
    scrolling regions.
  
  - You can finally use applications like dtach(1) on both the console and
    inside an xterm.
