This change breaks movemail on Windows:

    revno: 99810
    committer: Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
    branch nick: trunk
    timestamp: Fri 2010-04-02 11:26:24 -0400
    message:
      Fix permissions handling (CVE-2010-0825).

      * movemail.c (main): Check return values of setuid.  Avoid
      possibility of symlink attack when movemail is setgid mail
      (CVE-2010-0825).

The reason is that Windows does not have setegid.  (I'd suggest to add
a stub for it, just like we do with setuid.)
