[Initial Revision.
jeremy.shaw@linspireinc.com**20041107232009
 Downloaded from:
 
 http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/haskell/NewBinary/
 
 Then slightly modified to build with ghc6.
 
 Also added the cabal and debian meta info.
 
 To build on debian, run:
 
 dpkg-buildpackage
 
 Otherwise, install the cabal libraries do something like:
 
 ghc -package Cabal Setup.lhs -o setup
 ./setup configure
 ./setup build
 ./setup install

[update_license
jeremy@n-heptane.com**20050513044644
 Not sure what the license on this should really be... It seems to be derived from
 nhc98 and is probably subject to this license:
 
 http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/copyright.html
 
 But I need to contact the various authors and get some clarity.

[update Setup.lhs to use /usr/bin/env runhaskell
jeremy.shaw@linspireinc.com**20051211154927
 Previous it was /usr/bin/runhugs. The above version is supposed to work with any haskell compiler, and not depend on runhaskell being in a specific directory, such as /usr/bin.

[drop use of IOExts module for ghc > 503
jeremy.shaw@linspireinc.com**20051211155949
 
 This still needs some work because other non-ghc compilers should
 probably be using the heirarchical libraries too. Perhaps all the old
 deprecated stuff should be removed altogether.
