Specifically, we couldn't get the last g12 release to build and install
with MinGW/MSYS (IIRC it had something to do with libary installation).

Provided we actually have a design for it I have no problem with
including the stream module itself in the standard library for 0.13.
I'm somewhat more hesitant of about the idea of converting to
term_to_xml, term_io to use it for 0.13 though - that should probably
wait.

Also, if we want io.input_stream and friends to be instances of the
stream class the io module is going to require a bit of surgery.
I'm happy to include the stream module as part of the standard library,

Julien.
