The fcntl.h header *does* exist in MSVC (and in MingW...) but the core
Microsoft C Runtime doesn't actually export the fcntl function. On
Windows, fcntl header only exists to expose the O_* hexadecimal
#defines for the flags for the open() call, which *is* supported.

The only fcntl on Windows comes if you use an alternative C library,
such as Cygwin's port of newlib or glibc. The native stack doesn't
supply it.
