Although Florist would be neat to use, I have found GNAT specific
packages such as Gnat.OS_Lib and Gnat.Directory_Operations for file and
directory access quite adequate.
For processes, well, perhaps Gnat.Expect? If not, just import kill,
spawn (in Gnat.OS_Lib btw) and other functions from the OS library.
Might be a bit too platform specific compared to Florist, but simpler...
