Although it might work if Emacs is run directly from a Linux console, I doubt
whether it'd work in general. The ioctl needs a file descriptor, and which file
descriptor should Emacs try? Stdout? Stderr? What if the output of Emacs is
being sent to a file or pipe, and some other program later displays the text?
I'd like to see what GCC does before worrying about this too much. Also I'd like
to know why Alan sometimes sees block squares and sometimes diagonal lines.
