For now, the server doesn't let a client grab several ttys (just an
easy-to-fix implementation issue). But the natural way for the client to
do it will be for instance:

- brlapi_getTty(1,NULL); // grab tty 1
- brlapi_getTty(2,NULL); // grab tty 2 too
- brlapi_leaveTty(1,NULL); // leave tty 1
- etc.

For now, you can indeed leave and get tty each time the active window is
changed.
