Ok, well, more like:

- openpty() will still use legacy pty devices, if they exist, but will =
prefer /dev/ptm.
- posix_openpt() only works with /dev/ptm.
- The new MAKEDEV that's installed by the install script does not make =
legacy pty devices for "MAKEDEV all".

Seems like the best course of action is to have the install script put a =
ptyfs entry in the generated /etc/fstab.
