It shouldn't be difficult to implement, unless you want the snapshot
to be consistent per-session - in which case you need to store a copy
of the vty buffer at the moment the device is opened, which I don't
think is possible in FreeBSD. Apart from that, the only ugliness is
the need to fondle syscons' privates.
