If the library thinks the information it's outputting is important enough for
the user to see under any circumstances, then it should be possible to get
that information in a PAMified application, as well.

Besides which, the PAM module shouldn't be dup()ing file handles... those are
the application's responsibility.  There are still plenty of PAM apps that
*are* tty-based, and they wouldn't appreciate having those yanked out from
under them. :)
