My Solaris 8 box definitely has _SC_NGROUPS_MAX.

If we want to do this, I think we're going to have to create a minimal 
sysconf() implementation for the platforms that don't support it. They'll 
get the current compile-time values, and more featureful platforms will 
support run-time values. I may take a stab at this, but not until after my 
current ipfilter project is done. Although I do have a bit of free time 
now, being recently laid off...
