console code checked in

[Marcus Brinkmann]

Hi,

I checked in more of the console code, as the ncurses client is now actually
somewhat usable.  The whole code is somewhat simplicistic, and does not take
into account more complex features like split-screens etc yet.  But the
basic featrues (like virtual console switching) is definitely in, and I
found that the interfaces between the components are not easy to work out at
first try.  That's why I think that this should be done in steps.

Next step is the system's native console.  We could name that console, as it
is not in /hurd but either in /sbin or /libexec (which would be correct, I
think the latter?).  But I need a name for the directory...

Thanks,
Marcus
