<sys/tty.h> has been changed. Unfortunately, i didn't had the chance
to test & fix this before 1.1.5 shipped. I've got my 1.1.5.1 tape now,
and i gonna make the fix to pcvt as soon as my time permits.

There's a new version of pcvt in preparation (3.10), it has been kept
in ``gamma'' state for now, for even this reason. (I knew it wouldn't
compile out of the box on 1.1.5, but hadn't the necessary bits right
in time to do the fix. :-( )

Steinbach's Guideline for Systems Programming:
        Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.
