This change breaks backward compatibility in that Int and Word no longer export named conversion functions -- fromIntegral is preferred.
Yes, sorry - I figured these had been deprecated for long enough in GHC, but perhaps not in Hugs. For Hugs, you might want to track the 5-04-branch for the libraries at least for the forthcoming release, if backwards compatibility would otherwise be a problem.
Unfortunately the changes to the libraries for Hugs compatability were made after that. I'd prefer to continue to track to libraries, kludging around things like this for the release. If anyone really wants to roll back, somewhere around 2002-08-24 would be a suitable point (you'd need to roll back src/unix/convert_libraries to there too).
