WIP: exec element with initial implementation

Problem is that the main application actually does not create a pty and
instead uses the current one (for better compatability for ssh based
hosting).

The current problem is the fact that the child process should not
take over (and never give back too) the input / output handling of the
current pts. Such that both applications can receive inputs accordingly
(in best case actually controlled by the main application).
