This is not about Microsoft per se, but simply about
the lack of fchdir (or POSIX support in general) in WOE.
I suppose it's a long shot, but...
is there a way, in WOE/MSVC, to emulate fchdir's behavior?
I.e., given a file descriptor that is the result of opening a
directory, can you obtain an absolute path name of that directory?
BTW if we end up reverting the changes to save-cwd.c,
we'll also have to do something about its use of chdir_long,
which won't work on systems lacking fchdir:
#if !HAVE_FCHDIR
# undef chdir_long
# define chdir_long(d) chdir (d)
#endif
