I haven't used xtermset for quite some time, but I think the general
idea of it can be very useful in scripts.
There's another, on a first glance very similar package in Debian
called xtermcontrol. It seems to have an active upstream and supports
more commands, but not all of xtermset's commands are supported:
$ xtermset
GPF xtermset 0.5.2
[-store [<filename>]] [-default [<filename>]]
[-force|f] [-title|T window-title] [-n icon-name]
[-fg color] [-bg color] [-cr color]
[-mousefg color] [-mousebg color]
[-tekfg color] [-tekbg color] [-hc color]
[-fn|font font-spec] [-geom size-spec]
[-iconify] [-restore] [-refresh]

>From the above it seems that xtermcontrol does not have the following
features that are present in xtermset:
* Store settings in a file and load them again
* Everything which has to do with the Tek window.
* Setting the icon name independently of the window title
