they have moved to the p9p directory
/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/p9p/9term*

it was something i thought i needed a few years ago.
i don't use p9p very much anymore and i haven't felt
the need for it in plan 9.  i think it would be pretty
easy to port.

i also added some code that eats ansi/xterm escapes.
when i upgraded my p9p install recently, i dropped
a number of my p9p hacks.  9term.look was on the
chopping block, but the escape-eating saved it.

supposedly, using nobs for a pager and setting the
term to dumb is enough.  evidently, i'm doing it
wrong.  python tools just love spitting out goofy
escapes.
