Minimal replacement for agetty written in
GNU Bash with support for remote SSH login.
+
Note however that because of the use of GNU
Bash, rather than a compiled language,
gates-of-tartaros uses more memory than agetty.
+You can configure your install to use dash
+instead of bash by running make with the
+argument BASH_SHEBANG="/usr/bin/env dash".
+Doing so will more halve the memory using,
+reducing the memory usage to slightly below
+agetty.
