No, my patch does not disable anything. It just _enables_ autoconf check
for legacy/unix ptys.
vtun-2.6/config.h.in is a file to be changed by configure (really, a file
to be used when config.h is created). If config.h.in has not entries for
HAVE_GETPT,HAVE_GRANTPT,etc, they will not be defined after configure run.
When I add these #undef's, configure changes them to #defines if unix98
pty's are supported.
Regards,
Sasha.
