This is mentioned in the documentation at
    http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/hat/requirements.html

All that is really required is any terminal emulator that does ANSI
colour codes, but the problem is to discover the user's preference at
configuration time.  We decided to choose the most commonly available
one - xterm - as a de facto standard, likely to be available almost
everywhere.
