implemented. It's not as elegant as a real UNIX-like PTY, but it's
working and seems to be the only reasonable solution for an embedded
terminal under Windows. Now, nothing prevents from trying alternate
solutions, but keep in mind the getting rid of the PTY will have
impact on other components that expect a terminal to work properly:
for instance the "ls" command in octave (when run in a PTY, "ls"
executable uses the terminal full width for formatting), or the
"less"-based pager.
