Further, here is a minmal list of candidates for osex inclusion:

unlink(path)
access(path,[mode])

dup(old,[new])

spawn(path,[args])  -- posix spawn can be implemented on win

chmod(path,mode)

uname([string])

I know it was mentioned in a post above, but most of this already exists in lua-ex. I know everybody hates they put the functions in the standard tables, so why not make a small change and fix that. What am I missing?
