1. When installing cons.saver, check what group the TTYs belong to, put 
the exe in the same group and set the setgid flag on it. That is 
hopefully a reasonably safe way of getting it to work for the world.

2. (A possible config option:) Adjust the subshell system so that the 
*first* time you attempt to leave a subdir and the subshell might be 
busy, it throws up a 'subshell busy' warning. That oughta alert people 
to a possible problem while not over-inconveniencing those that start a 
task and want to move on to another directory.

should be, to keep you from becoming another Stalin or Pol Pot.
