Process reorganisation: the System.Process library moves into base, and System.Cmd is re-implemented in terms of it. Thanks to Krasimir Angelov, we have a version of System.Process that doesn't rely on the unix or Win32 libraries. Normally using unix/Win32 would be the right thing, but since we want to implement System.Cmd on top of this, and GHC uses System.Cmd, we can't introduce a bunch of .hsc dependencies into GHC's bootstrap libraries. So, the new version is larger, but has fewer dependencies. I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to port to other compilers.
