just how portable do you want to test for ?
Ultimate portability:
don't use vfork, exec, etc, just use system(3)
Pretty Good:
program behaves the same with 3BSD vfork as with -Dvfork=fork
Can't really see the point of a "portability" "less 'v'" vfork
which just has the original 4.4BSD semantics separately from
those two ?
