Nice! Thanks a lot!

This is really nice. More testers of the Hurd console are needed.
I'd like to hear a lot of feedback about this. :)
Why isn't `tic -x hurd.ti' required anymore? If you mean that it
works without doing that you might be right, but you will miss some
functionality or discover some weird behavior eventually.
Is it possible to make /dev/tty[1-6] and /dev/vcs with the same script
that creates all other devices? That would be a really nice addition,
even when the console is not used by default.
Thanks,
Marco
