So this is what IBM is talking about when they mention xterm.
Of special interest is 'PLS' (as opposed to fribidi). As far
as the documentation implies, it supports bidi+shaping.
Will probe Jiro for more info.

Internationalized Terminal Emulator Framework
Jiro SEKIBA <jir(at)yamato.ibm.com>
* PREFACE
This is the public release of Internationalized Terminal Emulator
Framework(iterm) version 0.3. You can download tar.gz package from
the URL below
http://www-124.ibm.com/linux/patches/?patch_id=478
or obtain latest codes from CVS Repository as below..
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous(at)cvs.li18nux.org:/cvsroot login
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous(at)cvs.li18nux.org:/cvsroot co iterm
The distribution consist of 4 parts, such are
- lib
libiterm, the terminal emulator library.
- unix/fbiterm
terminal emulator for framebuffer, which uses libiterm.
- unix/Xaw/lib
libXiterm, the terminal emulator widget library.
- unix/Xaw/src
terminal emulator for X, which uses above widget and libiterm.
Please check documents in each directory for further information.
* NEW FEATURES
This time, memory consumption is significantly improved without
any speed losses. About xiterm, it saves about 2.7M bytes
compared with xiterm of version 0.2. libiterm version 0.3 may
have binary compatibility with version 0.2(not 0.1), but I recommend
update and recompile other library(libXiterm) and binaries(fbiterm,
xiterm).
fbiterm now sets default environment variable TERM as 'iterm' instead
of 'vt100' for its high capability. iterm terminfo entry is in
unix/terminfo directory. Please compile and install the terminfo entry.
* CHANGES

* added CHA(ESC [ G) Cursor Character Absolute escape sequence
* fixed a bug of HPA mapping (ESC [ G -> ESC [ `)
* added CHT(ESC [ I) Cursor Forward Tabulation escape sequence

* added CNL(ESC [ E) Cursor Next Line escape sequence
