i assume 7.6 and 7.8, if we're talking GHC rather than GCC :)

in 7.8 you can't define userland typeable instances, you need only write deriving (Typeable) and you're all set. add some CPP to select the instances suitable

So you need to be able to change the definition of the data type, in order to add deriving (Typeable). It's not possible to add a Typeable instance declaration later. When you can't change the definition, you're out of luck. Okay, V.W.
