PTYs are not supported on MS-Windows.  I added some protection so that
Emacs doesn't crash (trunk revision 115538), but I doubt if Emacs will
do anything useful when start-process is called that way on Windows.

I don't use skeeto, so I have no idea what it tries to do in this
case.  So I cannot offer any advice for how to make skeeto work on
Windows in this case, nor tell if that is even possible.
