Description

It checks for ghc 7.0.3 here, but getFileSystemEncoding only appeared in base 4.5, which is ghc 7.2.1 

#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ < 703
getFileSystemEncoding :: IO TextEncoding
getFileSystemEncoding = return fileSystemEncoding
#endif

Actually it can't be built on 7.0.3 at all, because fileSystemEncoding only existed in base 4.4.

Closing because it's too much effort to fix it. But lots of checks in code should be cleaned even in latest 1.2 because it does not support anything below base 4.4 (ghc-7.2.1)
