The C standard library does not cover all OS features.  Portability from
one C implementation to another involves not only language compatibility,
but OS compatibility.  Horror stories about C porting have ZERO relevance
to the language unless it is demonstrated that the standard C libraries,
as opposed to the BSD/SysV/MS-DOS/etc. libraries, were incompatible.
