My thoughts on the changes:

- yes to adding new_group to the CreateProcess record, and corresponding support to System.Process.Internals

- no to adding runCommandNewGroup, and the other *NewGroup functions. These were kept mostly for backwards compatibility anyway, the new API is createProcess, shell, proc, readProcess. I don't think people need new_group often enough to provide canned variants of runCommand etc. for it.

I have revised the patch and the description accordingly and submitted it here... http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3994 Hamish
