At some time I had looked into this, but it seems that Gerd made that
specific change:

2001-08-15  Gerd Moellmann  <address@hidden>

              * Makefile.in (finder_setwins): Renamed from
                nonobsolete_setwins.
                Don't include term/.

I think that term was excluded because for custom options in term/*.el
the related load files may depend on the system.

For instance, in Emacs as of 2004-03-10 there were the following
defcustom's in lisp/term/*:

./pc-win.el:176:(defcustom x-select-enable-clipboard t
./x-win.el:2106:(defcustom x-select-enable-clipboard nil

I am not aware of a clean way to set such dependencies correctly.
