Another interesting check might be that maybe there should be an error
if FDSCRIPTS is set and FDESCFS isn't, since you certainly can't pass
a valid /dev/fd/N if you don't have FDESCFS.
That's not true. `MAKEDEV std' creates a /dev/fd populated with device
nodes that sort-of do the right thing. FDESC is better, but optional.
