I will change.

I will "unbundle" stuff in ##sys#process. (Thus making more private  
stuff global but I wanted to anyway, the "pty" egg uses stuff from  
posixunix.)

From there I will make a 'process' that keeps the current behavior  
but allows 'osprocess' to exhibit others.

Again, it will be a couple of days before anything can be released.
