I think it would be very good to have the patches in there since they
surely are the result of a great deal of work and it would be sad to
lose the possibility to take advantage of said work.

I would also like to try to get as much as possible into 1.4.1 if it
turns out to be stable etc. At least I could do a gnome-terminal/libzvt
bugfix update after 1.4.1 if the need for testing means not getting it
in by 1.4.1 (hmm? there is a schedule for this release? :)

Maybe you won't have to split them up in "thousands" of patches. Good
descriptions of what the patches do could enable someone else to try
splitting them up maybe.

Did you add code to handle UTF8 in your patches or did you just leave
that feature out? I understood that you based your work on code from
1.4.x but without the "support" for UTF8 that went in there.
