Re: GNULib save-cwd.c on Windows & Visual Studio 6.0: msg#00036

Subject: Re: GNULib save-cwd.c on Windows & Visual Studio 6.0
Here's a patch that should restore the ability of save-cwd to
work on systems without the fchdir function.

Would you please see if this is sufficient?
If so, I'll check it in to gnulib (with an AC_CHECK_FUNCS(fchdir)
in save-cwd.m4).
