Hm, I'm not sure which is best. The reason I haven't pushed in
Simon's exec patch is of course the GHC 6.4 dependency. But that
was a long time ago, and since then debian etch is out, and we
should drop GHC 6.2 support. On the other hand it won't hurt to
keep it in one more (soon to come) release now that it's
practically in there for free. I don't plan to push any more
(but trivial, or documentation) patches before 1.0.9.

Pulling Will's two lines patch into darcs-unstable took my
computer ten minutes and created an 80 lines long, five levels
deeply nested merger. But it was trivial to resolve.

Pulling Simon's exec patch plus a conflicting pathc and their
resolution patch into stable worked fine, but fore some (yet)
unexplainable reason it causes the external.pl test to hang. I'm
too tired to investigate that now.

I'm currently leaning towards keeping 1.0.9 GHC 6.2 compatible
and thus go with Will's patch for stable (merging and resolving
it in unstable).
