posix.exports and posixwin.exports are already distinct names.
pcre.exports, pregexp.exports, and regex.exports are already distinct names.

I don't care what the .exports name is, I just want it to match the 
filename that implements the unit, so that I don't have to write and 
maintain special-case build rules.  Renaming posix.scm to posixunix.scm 
is trivial in Darcs and CMake, and looks easy in Makefile.am also.
