Hi Bulat,
I am proposing to add the following to the System.Info module (which seems to be the best place to collect OS-specific things) - the code
why not to add them to FilePath library instead?
Dimitry asked me about this, I said that its probably not the right place. Which extensions should be used are not related to the way of handling filepath's, they are a System specific piece of information. It's best to put stuff where they belong, rather than avoid base like the plague because its hard to upgrade. The solution to that problem is modifying base or GHC appropriately. Thanks Neil
