	Along those lines, I once saw a place where /dev/tty.c was a link
to /dev/tty.  The idea was that to run quickie test programs, you just do
"cc /dev/tty.c" and type in your program followed by a ^D!  I suppose you
could type in a device driver but I'm not sure how you would work this into
your system Makefile.
