Well, of course a platform-specific test is better than no test at all,
but let's try to minimize the platform dependencies. For instance,
instead of using /proc, which would work only on Linux, we could use
POSIX API promises to enumerate open fd's in a more portable way. (Off
the top of my head, open(2) and fcntl(2) both seem like candidates.)

Or maybe APR has already solved this problem.
