    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Using revision 27493 and the standard GNUstep windows installer (gcc 3.4.5)
fails to build ProjectCenter.
This is not unexpected since openpty and forkpty does not exist in glibc or
on libutil in mingw. 

Build failure as below:

 Compiling file PTYView.m ...
PTYView.m:31:24: warning: sys/termios.h: No such file or directory
PTYView.m:38:20: warning: stropts.h: No such file or directory
PTYView.m:52:19: warning: pty.h: No such file or directory
PTYView.m: In function `-[PTYView openpty]':
PTYView.m:134: warning: implicit declaration of function `openpty'
 Linking bundle ProjectCenter ...
C:\GNUstep\mingw\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe:
cannot find -lutil

Since the pseudo devices in /dev does not exist on mingw I am afraid that we
need to some platform specific code around this.

Cheers,
Tim
