One particular thing I added was resizing the backend pty in response
to changing the terminal size.  This involved a little bit of new
tricky node.js code.
It works in node 0.8.x, but didn't work _last time I tried_ with Node
0.10.x, which is why all SageMathCloud projects are still running
0.8.x.

Anyway, if you guys go with term.js you'll inevitably run into the
same issue, so keep me posted.
