Attached are two patches that make it so.

I also noticed the various spawn/* definitions weren't exported on
UNIX either.  The open/noinherit wasn't exported there either.

Initially, I thought open/noinherit should go into chicken.process,
because our docs state that it only applies to create-pipe, but I
think that's incorrect; you can use this flag for any open() call
in Windows (see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z0kc8e3z.aspx).
Therefore, it mercifully belong with all the other open/ flags, in
the (chicken file posix) module.

Once the patches are accepted I'll fix the new manual to mention
all of this.

Cheers,
Peter
