Eterm transparency/shading problem

[Brandon Fosdick]

Ah, that makes sense. I usually compile Eterm with MMX enabled but somehow forgot this time. Now it looks much better.

Would it be worthwhile to make this compile option part of that new(?) options framework that some of the ports seem to be using?

Thanks for the reply.
