On POSIXish hosts it's long been safe to assume at least
POSIX.1-1988, as the pre-POSIX platforms died out long ago.
Attached is a patch to simplify Emacs to assume this
for <fcntl.h>.  I haven't tested this on Windows but have
tried to make the Windows port work by renaming its O_NDELAY
flag to O_NONBLOCK, as POSIX standardized the spelling of this
flag to be O_NONBLOCK.  I'll CC: this patch to Eli to give
him a heads-up.  This patch is relative to trunk bzr 110892.
