# Runs a subprocess in a pseudo terminal, tricking a program into not
# buffering its output.

# A great write up on pseudo-terminals here:

# It has the following disadvantages:
# * You can't get the exit status
# * When the process dies, whatever output you haven't read yet is lost.
# * stderr is merged into stdout
