System.Environment.getEnv should work on Win32.  For the others, it
would possibly make sense to include these in System.Environment, with
implementations for both Unix & Win32.

Should probably be in System.Win32 somewhere.

Unfortunately we can't take code under that license into our existing
packages - the rule is that each package has a single license, and
currently all the packages distributed with GHC have a BSD3 license,
with the exception of readline.  You can start new packages, of course.

Contributions are always welcome, even if we can't use the code
directly.  You've pointed out things that the standard libraries lack.
Thanks!
