Actually, why can't we set the erm... vcons type in /etc/vcons.conf
and use real vt100 in /etc/ttytab, so we can correctly be reported
as real vt100 (with full support, of course)?

Something like (vcons.conf):

ttyv1	stv52	# mono  ST-High (forced mono plane)
ttyv2	ttm52	# color TT-medium
ttyv3	tth52	# mono  TT-High (forced mono plane)

and then in ttytab (off memory, cannot remember the format for sure):

ttyv1	"/sbin/getty"	vt100	on	secure

Some which are already available:

* Lynx (ascii browser)
* color (used as a wrapper for 'ls' and other apps supporting it)
* Petr Stehlik's ncurse demos
