It shouldn't be too hard to add it though, wiring up the console port to
a websocket should need minimal changes, and there's a variety of
javascript terminal emulators that are surprisingly decent these days.

hterm, the one I'm most familiar with is part of the chromeos tree, and
looks to be fairly trivial to wire up to a websocket.
