Eliminated some dead code. In other cases, exported a currently unused
function, since it was a logical part of the API.
Of course this improves the API documentation. It may also sometimes
let ghc optimize code better, since it can know a function is internal
to a module.
364 modules still to go, according to
git grep -E 'module [A-Za-z.]+ where'
Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work.
Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior.
Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by
Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything
that ifdefs a use of unix.
Probably lost a full day of my life to this.
This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
This reverts commit 51228c2306.
No, still doesn't work when built with cabal. It did with stack; stack
must somehow make the unix package implicitly available.
With cabal, System.Posix.Process and System.Posix.Env are both missing.
Seems I had all the work in past commits to make this build, at least on
linux. I'm actually surprised it does, without a unix dep, Utility.Env
still builds ok somehow despite using System.Posix.Env.

They need unix on non-windows, for Utility.Env, which Build.Configure uses,
but cabal can't express that in a custom-setup stanza.
To avoid this problem, Utility.Env would need to be moved into
unix-compat..
Windows needs the setenv package in custom-setup, but I don't want to
pull it in on unix, which would probably break some builds and need more
work. Instead, split out setEnv to a separate module.
Quite likely, unix-compat will get a portable environment layer, and
then both modules can be removed from here.

Didn't know that this library existed!
This includes making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and
making the test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
