There you go... (/proc/tty/console -> /dev/tty<current_VC>; may very well
be dangling, but then you have a current VC even if your /dev consists
of /dev/console and nothing else, so there's nothing to do about that;
doesn't handle TIOCCONS redirects, but IMO that should be a separate
object anyway).
