Thanks.

Are all the features you're testing for specified by
POSIX 1003.2-1992?  (That is, are they all suitably *old*
POSIX?)  If so, these patches look good, except that
the documentation needs to be updated (it should mention
the POSIX version, for example) and a NEWS item needs to
be added.

Do we need to bother with a new branch?  I'd say
that this is pretty much ready for the master, modulo
the documentation fixes.
