What is cterm?

cterm is a tiny terminal emulator I built from frustrations of not being able to use st across different platforms. Much like st, it is very, very small--even smaller than st. For this reason, however, cterm does not have the "standard" terminal emulator features such as mouse selection, scrollback, fancy graphics, configuration files, the like; this is because, I find all of them useless. If you want to achieve that, use a terminal multiplexer or even VIM (it can function very well as a modal multiplexer).

cterm also doesn't rely on any extra dependancies like FreeType. Well it sort of does, but I chose to vendor libmaus as that is a really simple windowing library I created so that it can be cross platform.
