I wouldn't work too hard on that.  I still hope to replace the existing 
Unix and Windows terminal widgets with a grand unified command window 
widget that will use Qt to handle input and output.  My plans are that 
it won't really be a "terminal" and it won't be possible to execute 
external programs in it (no big loss, you can't really do that now) and 
Octave won't be using the Windows Console or a Unix pty.  Instead it 
will read input and send it to Octave and get output back that it will 
display.  It should be much simpler and as functional as we want it to be.
