Since 'replace' and 'copy' are never both true, should this instead be a
tri-state enum argument instead of two independent bool arguments?

Broken - you want to use dup3(fd, monfd->fd, O_CLOEXEC) (and fall back
to dup2()+fcntl(F_GETFD/F_SETFD) on platforms where dup3 is not
available; it has been proposed for the next revision of POSIX but right
now is pretty much limited to Linux and Cygwin).  Otherwise, you are
undoing the fact that patch 1/7 just changed the 'getfd' list to always
keep all its fds marked cloexec.
