1. Couldn't this go into one of the other 'util' packages? Maybe
sysutils? It is after all very small.
2. I like the idea of using open(1) with only 1 or two gettys spawned
by /etc/inittab. However, this is fundamentally different behaviour
and is likely to confuse many users. Perhaps we should make it an
"option" for the time being.
