+terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition,
+several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards
+(e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a
+scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste
+mechanism that allows the user to move text regions between windows. When
+screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the
+specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the
+program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new
+(full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill
+the current window, view a list of the active windows, turn output logging on
+and off, copy text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between
+windows, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each
+other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and
+even when the whole screen session is detached from the users terminal.")

Hello,

thanks a lot, it builds well for me!

I just added perl as an input, as one of the scripts (/etc/countmail) uses 
it, and changed the first "Screen" in the description to "GNU Screen", and 
pushed the patch.

Andreas

PS: I just realised the licence is not gpl2, but gpl2+: The file COPYING 
gives the text of version 2, but a few randomly checked source files say 
"either version 2, or (at your option) any later version". Also, the field 
should not be a string:
   (license "gpl2")
but the variable name from the license package:
   (license gpl2+)
