If the link step complains, then it's not implemented by MS runtime. This
is especially true for non-ANSI functions such as getuid. Remember that MS
runtime is NOT POSIX.
You'll need to write these for win32 if you have to have them. I believe 
Perl sources have some of these, so you may want to look there first.
