Right now, I am working around this clumsily to avoid stalling (I am just patching the Cabal files). It ought to be fixed before everything gets merged, though.

This is a great idea. However, maybe it=E2=80=99s best for a little = later (tomorrow or the next day). Right now, I am fixing more than my computer is building. :) > -- > Ricardo -- Tim
