nhc98 does not currently implement any of System.Posix.*

The main obstacle is that the System.Posix hierarchy seems to rely
heavily on autoconf (I'm guessing) for lots of CPP symbol definitions
(in a #included "HsBaseConfig.h", which doesn't appear anywhere in the
darcs repository), and of course nhc98 does not use autoconf at all.  If
there were some other, less horrible, way of generating the necessary
data definitions, that would be great.
