I don't see a way to do this with the standard tools either.

This is a very slightly modified script from the python pty example at:
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/pty.html

Modifications:
Accept `-c command' to set the executable.
Also copy stdin to the output if input is not a tty.

So use it just like script(1) but stdin can be a file, and will be 
copied to the output file. Just like script, it will keep going until 
the spawned process quits.
