I just compared the output of "env" in both xterm and Terminal windows and
came up with these clues:

    * TERM in an xterm is "xterm".  In Terminal it's "vt100".

    * In Terminal a TERM_PROGRAM environment variable is defined with a
      value of "Apple_Terminal".

    * The xterm also defines DISPLAY for obvious reasons.
