CONFORMING TO
       This function is non-standard; it appears on most BSDs.

I suggest instead that you add a CMake-time check for this function's 
existence. If it's not present, then we have to call getpwnam(3) to get 
the UID and main GID, then iterate over getgrent(3) to get all groups to 
which this user is present.
