I don't mind an optional (configurable) dependency on jnr or jnr-posix, but I don't think
it should be a required or default dependency.
I don't have much feel for how popular or common JNR is - it seems to be
a project that is in semi-maintenance mode, and not on any kind of "standards track".
I haven't done anything with it.
That doesn't seem we can't make use of it, of course.
Please us and Duncan know (here) whether SRFI-170 or other Posix bindings would be
useful to you.
