Well, there is an isatty() on current win32 environments. However it can't
reliably be used to determine if the current process/file descriptor is
talking to a "Console" device instead of a file and/or NUL device.
Specifically, if a file descriptor is open to a NUL: device, then isatty()
will return true. Duh! I think that it also returns true if you are
connected to a PIPE. Duh, again!!
