Maybe  we can have more portable my_strerror(), with predefined English
texts for common values of errno, like here
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/basedefs/errno.h.html ?
Using error text as defined by OS can bring yet another problems, e.g in
localized environment (LC_MESSAGE, localized Windows, who knows what else)
