Virtual Consoles in Hurd

[Jose Eugenio Marchesi]

Would be good to make virtual consoles support into the
GNU/Hurd environment.

But would be useful make it with new powerful features. Some
ideas:

 * Clone the Emacs buffer approach (!)
  (The same keystrokes?)
  (Display more than one VC at same time? C-x2?)
   
 * Built-in text flow from one VC to another.
   (How?)

 * Run-Time configuration via keystrokes (or a special configuration VC).
   (Emulation type, ...)
   (Menus?)

 * One special VC for system messages.
   (Special keystrokes?)

 * Other special VCs.

 * ...
 (Please, give ideas!)

Perhaps some of these capabilities would be builded into the 
shell?

Perhaps these capabilities are completely absurd?

What servers must be used/modified/created to do this? What would be
the best way?


I know it is a lot of work. But i am ready to start this effort ':)
