Release of unix 2.4.0.0

Vasili Galchin did a release of a new version of the unix library.

    http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/unix-2.4.0.0

Hmm :(

This is a core package, maintained by libraries@, so shouldn't be being
uploaded to hackage by 3rd parties.

What can we do?

It's also been pointed out that the darcs version of the unix package is
2.2, while the version on hackage is 2.3.

with cabal install now able to auto-grab the latest thing named 'unix'
this is a little concerning.

Remove it.

Actually that's just because the packages that go with ghc HEAD have not
had their versions bumped compared to the ones that came out with
ghc-6.8.x. Though it does make one wonder what other patches did not
make it to the HEAD branches.
