The implemented wrappers that are functional and not just stubs are (as of r3680) :
For System.Environment: setEnv :: String -> String -> Bool -> IO () getEnv :: String -> IO (Maybe String) unsetEnv :: String -> IO ()
System.Environment.getEnv should work on Win32. For the others, it would possibly make sense to include these in System.Environment, with implementations for both Unix & Win32.
For Posix.Process getProcessTimes :: IO ProcessTimes getProcessID :: IO Int
Should probably be in System.Win32 somewhere.
The code itself is dual-licensed under the Artistic License and GPL and thus should be compatible with whatever license GHC uses.
Unfortunately we can't take code under that license into our existing packages - the rule is that each package has a single license, and currently all the packages distributed with GHC have a BSD3 license, with the exception of readline. You can start new packages, of course.
Hope you find my code useful,
Contributions are always welcome, even if we can't use the code directly. You've pointed out things that the standard libraries lack. Thanks! Cheers, Simon
