Whoops - rxvt is non commercial distribution. You actually need permission
from the university of cambridge (I believe it is) for the code derived from
xvt to be put on a CD that is sold (or has someone finally written out the
xvt code ?). The SuSE and other KDE shipping folks might want to check they
have the right paperwork (I think a lot ship rxvt so I guess they do)

I disagree Miguel - "Almost qt and twiddle the KDE classes for the rest"
is a vastly easier goal.
