Okay, I've made another release that includes a basic X5250 resource file.
It also fixes a number of other issues that people brought up about
version 0.1.5.  The X5250 resource file will have to be manually
installed, though.  However...

Ick, I forgot about that.  I didn't deal with this before making the
release.  That means I need to look at the autoconf stuff you mention.
I'll have to look into this a lot more.  In the mean time a simple
'cat X5250 >> ~/.Xdefaults' should take care of things.

The new release does have a lot of good stuff, though.  A resource for
fonts and a solid block cursor (when window has focus) plus many fixes.
Check it out at the usual spot:
