For the sake of completeness: the oldest commit adding runpty was in May 
2003 (25 years ago!) applied to TC 4.1:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/d6flf7txlfxq8fz65fhz8jdr0hp6yqvl

The change goes back to the following mail thread starting a month earlier:

https://lists.apache.org/thread/nm6ptz8jl40wbygw6tzh4924sflwh2b9

but I couldn't find what code the OP Robert Upshall might have provided 
passed along to Jean Frederic.
