Agreed.  Furthermore, since dup3() has been proposed for addition into
POSIX[1], it won't be long before other platforms add it.  Always favor
feature checks (a configure probe for dup3) over platform checks
(hard-coding the assumption that Linux and Cygwin are the only platforms
that will ever provide it).
