Thank you.

By the way I do use emacs-libvterm as that is handling mutt mail
client in best manner. Emacs is missing maildir support, mutt is
handling maildir blazing fast, so I cannot without it. Since I started
using libvterm, term or ansi-term also improved, there were just few
bugs and it was improved, so I will switch back to ansi-term, I hope
it will work.

I did look into code of emacs-libvterm and I can see it tries to
compile the module, it does not succeed really, but it does say that
it was successful erroneously. Though concept inside seem to be good.

Would such module creation be accepted in GNU ELPA if authors agree?
They use cmake, and other build tools?
