I have uploaded an xterm-353 package, updating from xterm-348.

Changes, after taking over maintainership:

Added BUILD_DEPENDS to the cygport configuration.

Consolidated build parameters, enabling all terminal features
(hp-fkeys sco-fkeys dec-locator sixel-graphics regis-graphics).

Consolidated runtime dependencies: removed X server fonts

Consolidated and tweaked runtime configuration:

! enable consistent ESC prefixing:
*VT100*metaSendsEscape: true
with best-fit fallbacks *VT100*eightBitInput: true and 
*VT100*eightBitMeta: true

! BackArrow key sends DEL:
*backarrowKeyIsErase: true
*ptyInitialErase: true

! encourage terminfo to use true colour:
*termName: xterm-direct

! enable Sixel display by default:
*decTerminalID: vt340

! not applying previous restrictions of Red Hat defaults:
!*allowFontOps: false
!*allowTcapOps: false
