Well ok, I was specifically wondering about the Win32 version which
uses Cygwin (http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Corner/2874/)
(Also there used to be an Amiga version for 1.7.x?)

If they don't have getuid() we can do a configure check;
the problem is if they have a getuid() which always says 
the user is root.
