The method I gave in <http://bugs.gnu.org/12908#73>
is portable to GNU and POSIXish hosts, where you can test whether
a file descriptor FD is valid by invoking dup2 (FD, FD).
Gnulib has a dup2 implementation that works on Microsoft Windows,
so if we use that, it seems we should be able to use the same idea
there too.
