Hello.

I use encodign in a Haskell application and I would like to have it working with ghc-7.8.2.

So I am kindly asking to, if possible, update the encoding package[1] to be compilable with ghc-7.8.2.

Currently it fails with the messages:

With the attached patch I am able to compile encoding-0.7 with ghc-7.8.2 on my gentoo system. Maybe it can be integrated into the source code in the darcs repository. Romildo
