OK, thanks!

I agree completely with Craig that _EXFNPTR is a better name. I also think
that the original idea from 2000 is a clever model, since it solves a common
issue when compiling unix source in Windows. Just note that for the patch to
work, it has to be consistently applied to all function pointers, leaving
the old macro name obsolete. Also note the changes in unistd.h.
