Not to pick a fight (really!) but it's pretty portable, if "portable"
means "available under practically anything that uses '/' to delimit
directories in a pathname".

Microsoft even has a flavor, albeit having but a single parameter:

Perhaps the preprocessor could be used to eliminate the second argument?
