On how many different platforms was this configure check tested on?

Test works on Linux (no FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES) and HPUXes
(FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES): HP-UX B.11.23 ia64 (Itanium) and HP-UX B.11.11
9000/800 (PaRisc)

Do you want me to resend with "."?

Probably resending with "." and asking the list audiences for help in
testing would help you gather success reports on different platforms.

Will do... Did that.

Do you think that there's some reason not-to merge it? I mean if fopen(".") 
throws an error, FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES will NOT be defined - as is it now.

I don't know how many people cares about configure script since there are 
missing bits in it again and again. I believe it could receive good amount of 
testing only when it's merged in.

I'm trying to make GIT working on HPUX - next patch in my queue is about 
broken vsnprintf() that returns -1 on maxsize overrun. Do you think that it's 
more likely that patch will be accepted when I omit "broken vsnprintf()" 
detection code from configure.ac?
