  New module 'system-posix'.
  
  * modules/system-posix: New file.
  * lib/stdlib.in.h: Include <sys/wait.h> only when the 'system-posix'
  module is present.
  * m4/stdlib_h.m4 (gl_STDLIB_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize
  GNULIB_SYSTEM_POSIX.
  * modules/stdlib (Depends-on): Remove sys_wait.
  (Makefile.am): Substitute GNULIB_SYSTEM_POSIX.
  * doc/posix-functions/system.texi: Mention the new module.
  * doc/posix-headers/stdlib.texi: Likewise.
  * tests/test-stdlib.c: If GNULIB_TEST_SYSTEM_POSIX is not defined,
  define test_sys_wait_macros to a no-op.

  Gnulib module: system-posix
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The macros @code{WIFSIGNALED}, @code{WIFEXITED}, @code{WIFSTOPPED},
  @code{WTERMSIG}, @code{WEXITSTATUS}, @code{WNOHANG}, @code{WUNTRACED},
  @code{WSTOPSIG} are not defined in @code{<stdlib.h>} (only in
  @code{<sys/wait.h>}) on some platforms:
  MirBSD 10.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the command processor used by the
  @code{system} function is @file{cmd.exe}, not @file{/bin/sh}.  Accordingly,
  the rules for quoting shell arguments containing spaces, quote or other special
  characters are different.
