using either the new locale-aware Handle code in 6.12 or a fallback on older releases.

How do you manage this? Any chance of abstracting something like this out (ala extensible-exceptions)?

The fallback is very simple: on versions of GHC older than 6.12, you get UTF-8 codecs and your platform's native newline conversion, and that's it :-) There really isn't anything to abstract.
