We do have an osiUnistd.h header, which in most cases includes unistd.h 
although on Windows it includes something else instead.  I don't know if that 
defines read() though, and the MSDN documentation doesn't tell me (it 
actually says that read() is deprecated and we should use the ISO _read() 
instead, but it doesn't say which header that would be found in either).

Commit your changes which look fine by me, and I'll update and try to build it 
on Windows.  We should change osiUnistd.h on Win32 if necessary.
