Why would Xen need to get involved in PTY mangling? I can just see
it: Xen won't run your brand of OS because it does not provide a PTY
implementation. That surely narrows the choice somewhat...

Presumably this is for the console in the host system, not guests.

Even then, it enforces unnecessary restrictions. Surely there's
something more portable than TTYs out there. Although the VNC stuff
doesn't look much better.
