Hi (this message is mainly intended to the GHC Team), is there any plan to improve GHC's extensibility by providing a simpler way to integrante new backends? I worked at Haskell.NET project in the past, when we integrated successfully a .NET code generator to GHC 6.2.2. As it wasn't stable enough, we didn't integrate it to the main branch. However, I've been trying to integrate our code generator to 6.6.1 and I've not been able to compile it up to now, due to several changes in GHC's code! I haven't yet figured out how to call the .NET code generator from GHC 6.6.1's main function. Further, it would be great if there was a better extensibility mechanism (such as a "plugin" infrastructure, for example) in which it wasn't necessary to use "#ifdef"along the code. Also, it would be very useful if this mechanism/API was well documented. Of course, this is only a suggestion.
