Proposal: add clearEnv and setEnvironment to System.Posix.Env

[Paolo Capriotti]

Hi all,
System.Posix.Env doesn't currently define a binding for the POSIX
function clearenv. I propose to add:

clearEnv :: IO ()
setEnvironment :: [(String, String)] -> IO ()

'clearEnv' is a direct wrapper for the underlying function, while
'setEnvironment' is a higher-level utility function which mirrors the
interface of the existing 'getEnvironment'. See attached patches here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5648.

Discussion deadline: 24 Mar 2012.

BR,
Paolo

We are past the deadline, so, if there are no objections, I'll go
ahead and push my patches.

BR,
Paolo

While you're doing this, could you submit my patch from here:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5930

I don't have permission, and I'd almost totally forgotten about it.
