Let's say I have more than one Haskell implementation on my computer, e.g. GHC 6.6, GHC 6.7, and Hugs. (In MacPorts, these are the ghc, ghc-devel, and hugs packages, respectively.)
Let's further say that I want to install the Edison API package. Obviously, to get make it available in all three environments, the library needs to be compiled twice and installed three times.
:) it should be compiled three times, too. different ghc versions has been never intended to be binary-compatible
I thought so at first, too... after a minute I realized it probably means that Hugs doesn't _compile_ anything in advance of installation. So I guess the number is right at least, depending what "compile" is taken to mean. Isaac
