Comment:

 `confstr` is fine, but most of those values (e.g. `_CS_LFS_CFLAGS`) are
 non-portable as far as I can tell.  The only portable one is `_CS_PATH`.

 See e.g. the POSIX pages that list the standard defines:
 [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/unistd.h.html]
 and
 [http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/confstr.html]
