Yes, sorry for over simplifying it.  The standards sets are certainly non-trivial.  When I said SUSv4, I really meant the SUSv4 *Base Specifications* which refers to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, ISO/IEC 9945:2008, and TOG Issue 7.  All three are identical and just known under different names for historical reasons.  I was not suggesting that we ever require optional interfaces.  IE, when I said SUSv3, I meant Unix 03.  Sorry for the confusion.

But on that note:

Solaris 8 and 9 are registered as Unix 98, and Solaris 10 is registered as Unix 03.  I assume Solaris 11 is also Unix 03 compliant but not yet registered.

Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 are registered as Unix 03.

I believe FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD are close enough to Unix 03 for our needs (the one standout is _POSIX_SAVED_IDS).

I also believe that eglibc is close enough to Unix 03 for our needs.

I do not know much about Cygwin, so hopefully Jon can fill us in there.

Assuming Jon is ok with it for Cygwin, I don't see much reason to hold onto Unix98 as our minimum requirement.  I'd much rather see us embrace Unix 03 (with IEEE Std 1003.1-2004).

Unix 03 gets us some functionality that we're already using in places, but this can let us clean out #ifdef cruft and configure.ac checks.  Specifically, setegid(2) and seteuid(2) are in Unix 03.
