Yum-able screen-4.0.1 test-only RPMS

Hi,

I put RPMS of screen-4.0.1 on my people.redhat.com account.  You can use
yum:

http://people.redhat.com/lhh/fedora

Or, download the packages directly:

http://people.redhat.com/lhh/fedora/screen-4.0.1-0.1.i386.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/lhh/fedora/screen-4.0.1-0.1.src.rpm

The major difference is screen's lack of needing backspace bindings.  

NOTE NOTE NOTE: If you test this package, you must also comment out the
"stty erase `tput kbs`" line from your shell's rcfile.  Tcsh users, I am
told, do not need to do this.  

Additionally, you may have to remove the backspace key binding from
/etc/screenrc or ~/.screenrc (If RPM saves your old configuration...)

The goal here is to remove all of the workaround we put in to make
screen work properly WRT backspace/del.  In theory, 4.0.1 no longer
needs them.
