Plan B updates

It's been rather silent on the list, but in the meantime, I have been
digging into various source-codes. Amazingly, a tried and well-tested piece
of code, from a bygone era, has come to my rescue.

GNU Screen is an open-source terminal multiplexer developed by the GNU
Project. It allows a user to access multiple separate terminal sessions
inside a single terminal window or remote terminal session. It is useful
for dealing with multiple programs from the command line, and for
separating programs from the shell that started the program.
  - [From Wikipedia]

Screen opens multiple pseudo-ttys for each of the "sessions" and this
closely parallels the design I have in mind for Anthias. 

Anthias will take this idea to the extreme; each process started on the
command line will get its own pseudo-ttys. Each ptty can be used, detached,
manipulated independently. More power and flexibility to the user, and a
cleaner approach for the developer.

I will come up with a design document soon elaborating the details.
