[Chicken-hackers] -emit-exports won't override explicit emit

The Chicken command line option -emit-exports FILENAME will not override explicit emit statements in the code. I don't know whether that's desired behavior or not.

The problem is that both posixunix.scm and posixwin.scm now emit posix.exports. So they collide. In theory, both posix.exports declare the same functions. In practice, I expect people to make errors about ensuring all Windows functions are available. So we need to ensure consistency somehow.

In CMake, I've made posixwin.scm in charge of the posix.exports dependency. That way, if exports go out of sync, we're more likely to notice. It has a small negative side effect: posixwin.c gets recompiled every time posixunix.c does. That's because posixunix.c emits posix.exports, the posixwin.c rule notices, and then fires again.

A command line option to suppress exports, or to send them to a different filename than what the emit statements say, would clear up the file collision.
