Unfortunately, this doesn't work.  (This was my first guess.)  It
seems that xterm only recognizes the following strings:

	intr, quit, erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch, start, stop, brk,
	susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, lnext

which are basically the c_cc fields.  [This is from the ttymodelist
array in the xterm source.]

Besides, I would just as well change the ttyv? virtual terminals too,
although that I rarely use them.
