The only real issue currently preventing ghc from adopting cpphs is ideological (GPL licensing).

We've no objection to making changes to GHC to make it easy to use in conjuction with cpphs (./configure --with-cpps or whatever), so 3rd-party packagers can provide GHC packages that use cpphs if they wish. However, we won't be adding cpphs to the GHC source tree, or requiring it to be installed to build GHC, or shipping it in the standard distributions. Cheers, Simon
