+     AIX >= 5.2, HP-UX >= 11.31, Solaris >= 10, Cygwin >= 1.7.

+     Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9, Interix 3.5, BeOS.
+   Among these:
+     - AIX has /dev/ptc.
+     - HP-UX 10..11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 2.6..9, Cygwin 1.5
+       have /dev/ptmx.
+     - HP-UX 10..11 also has /dev/ptym/clone, but this should not be needed.
+     - OpenBSD 4.9 has /dev/ptm and the PTMGET ioctl.
+     - Minix 3.1.8 have a list of pseudo-terminal devices in /dev.
+     - On native Windows, there are no ttys at all.  */
