Absolutely! Having posix.scm under Windows would be splendid.
I suggest having a separate file (like we have now for the three
different regex-units). But if you prefer a single file, something
based on cond-expand is probably the way to go (for example, with
"-feature windows").

I would be very happy to add this to the Chicken distribution.
