These are mostly equivalent to existing and widely used LGPLed code,
so I'd say they should be LGPLed.

I would say the one exception is getcwd, where the code to support
arbitrarily-deep nesting is not LGPLed anywhere that I can see.  For
that case I would suggest adding a getcwd-lgpl module that omits the
deep-nesting capability, much as we have already done (for similar
reasons) with fts and fts-lgpl.

Bruno, Jim -- do you have any objections to relicensing these?
