Is there a "conversion guide" for switching from base-3 to base-4?

I noticed that ghc-HEAD (6.13) comes with base-4.3 (and no base-3). This will break an awful lot of packages (?), in fact the breakage starts with cabal-install (since it depends on HTTP which depends on base-3).

HTTP can build and seems to work with base 4 if you bump the dependency. I contacted Sigbjorn about making a new release a while ago, but nothing has happened yet.

I don't know if Sigbjorn is still the maintainer. We need to set maintainer timeouts somewhere.
