Comment:

 @Phyx-, I don't know if you're interested in looking at this, but there's
 a bit of Windows-specific hacking needed to get this working for Windows.
 We use pipes directly to communicate between GHC and the ghc-iserv
 process, and there's currently no library support to do this on Windows.
 `System.Process` rolls its own, but it's not reusable directly.  Starting
 place is `iserv/Main.hs` and `compiler/ghci/GHCi.hs`.
