Description
I am interested in adding Windows support for this crate. Would you be willing to accept a PR if I can get this working?
Specifically, I want to look into adding Windows support via PseudoTerminal. Doing so will likely require some additions to this crate, including depending on winapi and some other platform-specific code for Windows builds.
I don't intend on changing the API, as I like the simplicity, and would try not to change the internals much. That said, I haven't looked closely at this codebase yet so I don't really know what will be required.
If this is something you see as possible, I can start working on it. It could take me a couple weeks (or more) to get something working.

Research direction
Start by reading the crate's existing Unix process and pseudo-terminal implementation, then review the linked Windows PseudoTerminal documentation and the winapi dependency options. Identify the platform-specific additions needed for Windows while preserving the existing API. Done means the crate works with Windows pseudo-terminals without changing its public API.
