I see old codes (from 2004 to 2010) using proc_open with $descriptors = [[0 => 'pty']] for example. When I try, I have an error because PTY seems to not be supported. ./configure does not propose me to --enable-pty as I have seen in some related posts.

Certainly. I am coming on IRC to look for someone because I don't have enough skills to do such a contribution.
