how about `sun1.el'?

Some of us Sun users set our TERM variables to `sun1' instead of `sun'
because the termcap entry for `sun1' works better with Emacs (it
scrolls faster).  But...  the Emacs terminal initialization stuff
doesn't load $EMACS/lisp/term/sun.el, since our TERM variable isn't
exactly `sun'.  What I've done here is simply make a link called
`sun1.el', and that now gets loaded, and everybody is happy.

Our other option would have been to edit the termcap file, but that
requires root permission.

Could y'all also make such a link in the Emacs distribution?

Thanks.
