It collects the 7 or so known issues that break code with GHC 6.10. Please feel free to clean up, and especially *add techniques for handling each change*.
If we do this right, with cabal-install being smart, clear summaries of what is broken and how to fix it, this might be the smoothest major release yet.
This is wonderful. I've been making noises about trying to make the transition smoother this time, but you and Duncan have done most of the hard work. Not only that, but the process has turned up some bugs that hopefully we'll be able to fix in time for the release. Great stuff, thanks guys! Cheers, Simon
