Hand-writing .hi files is how GHC used to work (up to version 0.29, IIRC). It's not entirely satisfactory because you can get into situations where you have to 'make' several times to get to a fixed point, and you can construct examples that never reach a fixed point. And 'make' complains about recursive dependencies a lot. What does hmake do?
I always thought it would be nice if you could specify special 'recursive groups' rules in make. so that if a set of recursive dependencies were found, it would look if they matched such a rule and fire it if needed. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
