Dead link.

At the last minute I insisted we change std.process2 to
std.process since it was agreed to incorporate the original API
instead of redesigning it slightly.
There was a recent thread [1] about deepening Phobos' module
hierarchy, and it seems that most people agree this is something
that should eventually happen.
In light of this, here's a suggestion: How about we, rather than
updating the old std.process, create a new module called
std.sys.process? Or even better, IMO, std.sys.environment and
std.sys.pipe as well as std.sys.process?
This would also allow us to give developers an earlier heads-up
that the old std.process is going the way of the dodo, by using a
pragma(msg) in the module. (The functions in std.process are not
templated, so we can't do the nice trick of putting the
pragma(msg) inside the functions themselves.)
