I've taken that call to isatty out. I was concerned that the ioctl's
were being performed now even when they are unnecessary (they were on
my Slackware 14.1 system), so I changed the preprocessor condition to
check __sun and __hpux, instead of HAVE_STROPTS_H - this is the way it
is done in the gnulib code you referred to.
