No - this is impossible unless you have a copy of every OS we've ever
tested on. It may be unused on Linux, but may be needed on Solaris, etc
etc. Removing <getopt.h> is an obviously safe action, but in general
we should be wary of removing supposedly unused heads.
Surely we can do it for POSIX calls?
Of course the OS / libc itself may not obey POSIX ...
