The System.IO.openTempFile is much better because it opens the temp files
securely. Howver it is only available in base-2 and only of GHC. In base-3
it is available for all implementations. So in practice that means it's only
for GHC and we have to use our compatability implementation for hugs and
nhc98. Not sure of the status for jhc.

ghc-6.4 and above recognise the OPTIONS_GHC pragma.
ghc-6.6 and above recognise the LANGUAGE pragma.
Added OPTIONS_JHC and OPTIONS_NHC pragmas with equivalant flags.

sorry folks, Compat.FilePath is gone

Hopefully System.IO.Error exists for nhc98 too.

This should now be equivalent in functionality to what was previously removed.

It's still a hack. The right solution is to proerly implement openTempFile
in base for all Haskell impls, not just GHC.

For example we were using a wrapper around 'system' to find the haddock
version. This invokes the system command interpreter and passes the
command to run as an argument. If the command has spaces in it and is not
properly escaped then everything goes wrong. This happens for example
on windows when haddock and other programs are kept under "Program Files".
So the right thing to do is never to use system, but always rawSystem since
then there are no escaping issues.

This patch replaces a couple function systemCaptureStdout and systemGetStdout
with rawSystemStdout which now lives in Distribution.Simple.Utils.

This also uses some rather nasty code to get the output of a command.
It really really should not be this hard to do portably. To work around
the fact that we cannot use runInteractiveProcess we instead have to create
a temporary file. This also turns out to be a hack because the 'standard'
openTempFile is not implemented except by GHC, so we now have a hacky version
living in Distribution.Compat.TempFile just waiting for the standard 
openTempFile to be made properly portable, or for us to get some
System.Process function that does what we want.
