I also have:

#ifdef WINDOWS
        int v;

        v = (int) ShellExecute( NULL, "open", url, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL );
        if( v <= 32 ) {
                error_top( _( "Unable to open location." ) );
                error_sub( _( "Unable to open URL \"%s\", "
                        "windows error code = %d." ), url, v );
                box_alert( par );
        }
#elif defined MACOSX
        (void) systemf( "open %s", url );
#else /*unix-y*/
        ... something like hubert's code
#endif
