If these changes are what I think they are, I know how to implement them generically. What was the patch number? Patch #579433. All I'm asking for is that autoconf tests are added to test for the needed features instead of testing for defined(sun).

It does do what I thought it might. That is pretty much what I would do to it, except that I am tempted to yank it all out of posixmodule into its own thing, assuming compatibility can be arranged.

Lance' other patch (#579435) also needs work, like documentation, setup.py and Setup.dist integration, perhaps some autoconf tests to avoid trying to build it when it can't be built, and perhaps tests to verify it works correctly. Maybe this should go into the pwd module in the first place.

I think it makes a lot of sense to put it in the pwd module.
