Bug#757180: RFS: pw3270 [NMU] [ITP] -- an IBM 3270 Terminal emulator for gtk

Hello, Antonio, Thank you so much for the feedback.

The compilation was tested some time ago in another context. So I really
did not get the problem. I will work on it in the coming days, starting
from the tips you gave: The trouble with oorexx, the maintainer, et cetera.
(My name wasn't there because I gave the original repository from Perry for
an initial feedback - and I thought it would be modified later. The
corrections will be sent to a repo from mine, and then sent to Perry at the
end - I will ask for his help if necessary). I've got the tutorial and I
will use it base.

It will be an interesting jouney of learning, since this is my very first
time. Thanks for the patience and helpful hand!

I will keep you in touch in the coming days!
