Excellent, here's a patch that does so.

I think this is a much nicer organisation: the most useful procedures
are in the library unit and don't require loading extra code, while the
low-level stuff for interacting with fds, uid/gids, etc. stays in posix
for those that need it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy holidays!
