+test: fix build when SHOULD_FORK is false
+
+The code in test/cairo-test-runner.c properly takes into account
+platforms that do have fork() support, and uses the SHOULD_FORK define
+to know whether fork is available or not.
+
+However, this SHOULD_FORK macro is used to guard the inclusion of
+<unistd.h>, which is needed to get the prototype of other functions
+(namely readlink and getppid), that are used in portions of this file
+not guarded by SHOULD_FORK.
