	Seems to me, after thinking about this for a bit, that
IO::Pty::ttyname and POSIX::ttyname should do exactly the same thing. If
POSIX::ttyname isn't returning correctly it seems like we should patch it.
	One of the issues is that it probably doesn't like filehandle refs,
but that would probably be an easy fix.
