Apart from its inability to correctly clear the screen when pressing
Ctrl+L, it works pretty well :)

The only serious problem I've found with it is its performance :-S At
least on my computer, it's significantly slower than a normal
terminal. If this could be improved, this program would be absolutely
great :)

I tried to run it with a profiler to try to find the cpu hogs, but I
failed miserably (gprof did not store any info about time/call, so it
was pretty useless) :-S I'll try again later when I have some free
time.

Thanks for your work :)

Byee
