You know, we could probably replace the xterm specific stuff with some code
that checks for various common terminal programs, and launches the first
one it finds.

On Linux it could search for xterm, gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, kterm
and of course I would have to look up the correct syntax for passing
commands to each.

On Mac it looks like we can do something like:

   open -b com.apple.terminal ./command_to_run.sh
