I'll definitely take a closer look.

I need to be able to swap out the RTS. The place I want to stick Haskell absolutely needs its own custom RTS, and currently, I don't think it's all that easy or clean to do that.
Am I wrong? Are there resources describing how to do this already?
As far as I know JHC is intended to work without an RTS.
It is more that the RTS is generated as a part of the normal code generation process, this is done by implementing as much as possible in haskell itself, jhc has a very rich set of unboxed primitives, making it as expressible as c-- for the most part, for the bits of C I do need, I try to make them conditionally compilable, so parts that arn't used will not be included. all in all, the overhead is ~= 1k or so. A side effect is that jhc is very lightly coupled to any particular RTS, so experimenting with alternate ones is pretty straigtforward.
