The reason I added the getrlimit check was because of the bug reported
here (bug#86):

Apparently, due to an oversight in the configure script, the
HAVE_GETRLIMIT code was always turned off, even though the code had
already been written.

Could it be that getrlimit is buggy on Cygwin?  Maybe we could work
around this by turning off HAVE_GETRLIMIT on that platform :-P
