While it looks like Pierre has his own solution, I thought I would
mention this for posterity on the list: "script" is a relatively
portable unix command that will allocate a pty for running.  If you
need a pty on a unix then it's probably your best-bet if you don't want
to be tied to sb-ext:run-program.
