The attached patches implement posix_spawn and posix_spawnp for native
Windows.

To my knowledge, it's a world's first. While the posix_spawn facility
was designed to be portable to other operating systems [1], the mingw
people did not and do not provide it.

	like Cygwin.
	* tests/test-posix_spawn-dup2-stdin.c (main): Don't assume the signals
	SIGHUP and SIGPIPE. On native Windows, don't call

	* tests/test-posix_spawn-fchdir.c (main): Likewise.
	* tests/test-posix_spawn-chdir.c (test): Likewise. Accept the child
	output from Cygwin's 'pwd' program.
	* tests/test-posix_spawn-script.c (main): On native Windows, skip the
	executable-shell-script part of the test.
	* tests/test-posix_spawnp-script.c (main): Likewise.
	* modules/posix_spawn-tests (Depends-on): Add freopen, waitpid.
	(configure.ac): Don't define the POSIX_SPAWN_PORTED conditional.

	test the POSIX_SPAWN_PORTED conditional.
	* modules/posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir-tests (configure.ac):
	Define the POSIX_SPAWN_PORTED conditional here.
