Unfortunately we now have a bug report that states the towupper/towlower
workaround is needed not only for old Mac OS X versions, but also for
(at least some versions of) OpenBSD.
    https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13709

So plonking a runtime check into the code is just not going to be
good enough, we need a compile time check that can be added to the
autotools process.  The Mac OS X build can then rely on HAVE_TOWUPPER
(or whatever this should be called) being false, keeping the current
conservative behaviour or selecting Mac-specific runtime checks.
