Why doesn't GDB open a pty and simply give the FE the name of the device
it can read the inferior I/O from? This would simplify a lot of things.

Although, it still would not work nativly on Windows. However, if GDB
doesn't support inferior I/O on the host, it wouldn't be expected to
when using the remote target. The only difference is that only a Cygwin
port of GDB to windows would be able to support this feature, not a
Windows's part of GDB.
