Filemanip on Windows

I tried to install filemanip on a windows system but it failed at the build
stage:
C:\temp\filemanip-0.3.5.2>runghc Setup.lhs build
Preprocessing library filemanip-0.3.5.2...
Building filemanip-0.3.5.2...
System\FilePath\Manip.hs:25:7:
Could not find module `System.Posix.Temp':
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
It seems that Manip.hs depends on System.Posix.Temp but the cabal file says it
doesn't on windows:
if !os(windows) build-depends: unix
I amended Manip.hs to work on windows and I am pretty sure it will still work
on unix. I've attached the amended source (I would have attached a patch but
I'm not familiar with the source control system you are using).
I also noticed that someone else had submitted a patch for windows support:
https://bitbucket.org/bos/filemanip/issue/1/patch-for-windows-support. Did this
every get incorporated? For some reason I wasn't able to look at it but it may
be better than my patch.
Dominic.
