Subject: new mterm feature

It's not really part of the main mouseware collection, but I just
implemented another feature in my X terminal emulator, mterm.

It's been able for a long time to display multiple windows in
potentially multiple displays.  (When I implemented this, I was
thinking things like a classroom, with one mterm displaying on the
teacher's machine and all students', with the students' windows
read-only, and another one for each student shared with the teacher.
What I ended up using it for most is sharing a few windows, such as my
mail-reading window, between home, work, and my gf's place.)  It's been
able for almost as long to add and drop windows on the fly.

What I added was the ability to run with no windows at all.  Obviously,
it has no way to get input in such a state, but either of the
mechanisms for adding a new window can bring up a window displaying
somewhere - the effect is somewhat like running screen(1) within mterm.
I also added a LICENSE file with a little clarification of the
copyright status, especially in jurisdictions (like modern Germany, I'm
told) where it's not possible to explicitly release into the public
domain.

The FTPable copy at /mouse/X/mterm.src/ (on ftp.rodents-montreal.org,
of course) has been udpated.
