tty0 permissions

Dear GGI hackers,

I have a question about lib/libggi/display/fbdev/vtswitch.c:vtswitch_open().
It uses tty0 in order to find the current virtual console number. The
question is if it is possible to do it in a different way? Perhaps with a
help of the minor of controlling terminal. Current code requires
permission 666 on tty0, which is the thing which I do not like personally.
Of course explanations why this is a silly idea are welcome.

Thanks,
--Pete
