Add the new port
This port would provide a wrapper script and .desktop entries for xterm running
TUI programs like Claude Code or Codex. Each app's is installed as a separate
flavor. Each app-flavor depends on the base-flavor -- this avoids inter-app
conflicts.
The bells and whistles include:
1. Usage of the recognizable icons for each app.
2. Usage of fully-featured fonts inside the xterm -- the apps tend to rely on
special UTF characters, which more traditional fonts simply don't include.
3. Per app configurability -- the user can overwrite colors and fonts for some
(or all) of the apps.
4. Written in sh, the only downloadables are the icons and license.
5. The included man-page explains configuration options, but the stuff is quite
usable out of the box.
Tested with XFCE4, should work with other desktop environments just as well --
or better.
