I will probably cross-reference that code with openvt from console-tools
and start with only one version of code. If other platforms need to be
supported for which the existing code won't be enough, we'll see about
it.

This is actually not needed, I realised. I can just do the vt allocation
in the supervisor process, and keep the vt open until the supervisor
ends.
