openTempFile only defined on GHC

Hi,

>From the System.IO export list:

#ifdef __GLASGOW_HASKELL__
    openTempFile,
    openBinaryTempFile,
#endif

So we have a standardised module with a standardised interface which
is totally broken on all but one compiler.

Can this please be either:

1) Implemented for all compilers
2) Removed, and then potentially re-added by the proper libraries
submission process

I hope the new libraries submission process will stop things like this
being added in future, without appropriate thought.

Thanks

Neil
