gnome-terminal and vte: works fine

["Per Lundberg" <perlun at bredband dot net>]

Dear list subscribers,

I have managed to get vte and gnome-terminal compiled and running on 
Cygwin/XFree. Seems to be working fine also, and it's nice to have when you 
are stuck in the Windows world. Attached is the patch for vte (based on 
another patch I found on the net, very small modifications to get the patch 
to apply with latest vte). vte is a package neccessary for the compilation 
of gnome-terminal.

gnome-terminal compiles right out of the box (2.12.0, latest version) but 
there is some problems with the help files (because of missing 
scrollkeeper-preinstall). If you go into each of the help/XX subdirectories 
and run a manual "make gnome-terminal-XX.omf.out", it will generate these 
files anyway, but I have not tested whether the online help works or not.

I hope this makes someone happy. :-) How do we now go ahead and get these 
packages into the netinstaller?
