It seems thah *YOU* don't care about it, but you'are not alone, and there
is people using it and a lot of people who want it, so please keep it in.
I don't understand why you are removing something which is working pretty
well.

This checks are not only usefull for windows, but also for Macos, for
Blackberry (yes efl builds fine on blackberry) for Android(efl are building
also fine on android) and even iOS. So here you are removing something that
is only used by 0.1% of users, ie linux users. That's a strange behaviour.

If adding unistd.h in evil directory is the solution for windows,, do it !
but i'm not sure that it will work for other OS.

So here my question : What's the purpose of EFL, what the main developpers
wants ? Keep EFL linux only or there is a place for others OS ?
If you want to trash 10 years of portability, you should maybe change the
major version and next release of EFL should be 2.0.
