i don't need to interact with program, just get its whole output (one
line) after it was finished. btw, afair, there was problems in windows
with redirection of cmd.exe output (in particular when running
executables from command files)

separate windows and unix versions are ok for me, i just need them
both. and i need only ghc support

taking this all into account, where i should look?
