Hey Simon,

Is there any chance you might be willing to submit a patch for this?

I realise we were a bit hesistant (or rather I was) in the beginning,
but now that unstable has moved on from ghc 6.2.2, it's time to switch.

I wasn't sure how to provide the functionality from Magnus Jonsson's
patch or if System.Process already does something similar.

  * Added rigorous error checking in exec
  All lowlevel C return values are checked and turned into
  exceptions if they are error codes. In darcs main
  ExecExceptions are caught and turned into error messages
  to help the user.

Could you have a look?
