Yes. Saves some kb with virtual consoles :o) As getty and all this MiNTOS
stuff are BSD-Sources, they cause a lot of warnings with -Wall. Make sure
you use the includes and libs from MINTOS. Maybe you could integrate some
stuff into mintlib as I did. Most of the stuff seems to be public domain.

A note on termcap functions (hi Kelli!): Mintlib's termcap functions are
incomplete, compared with the GNU termcap library. So if anyone wants to
compile newer sources with termcap functions, you better get the GNU
termcap library. This avoids a lot of problems.
