3) shouldn't there be a way of telling ghc --make about ways to generate the .hs/.lhs files it is looking for (aka suffix rules)?

The standard examples are happy, cpp, drift, ..

If you are willing to switch from ghc --make to hmake, you get various common suffix rules for free. .y -> Happy .ly -> literate Happy .hs.cpp -> cpp .gc -> GreenCard .hsc -> hsc2hs .chs -> c2hs It is also relatively straightforward to add more pre-processing rules of this nature to the hmake sources. For example, do you have a suggestion for a DrIFT suffix? Regards, Malcolm
