In general, platform specific tests (such as for -D_BeOS_) are
to be avoided as the behavior of even to R4.5 systems may not
be consistent (in the fact of 3rd party C translators and libraries).
Instead, we rely on configure to test for specific behavior
requirements and to define define appropriate defines for
conditional compilation.

We need to sort out a reasonable autoconf test for this.
We likely should discuss how to implement such a test on the
devel list.

HAVE_INITGROUPS should be used to control behavior. This can
either be localized in <ac/unistd.h> or in the particular
.c file which called initgroups().

This change is fine and has been committed.  Thanks.
