ANNOUNCE: maccatcher-1.0.0

This simple little package obtains a MAC address on *NIX and Windows. It is known to work on Linux, OS X and Windows XP. There is no C fanciness in this package -- it relies on shell commands. The MAC is cached after the first query, using an IORef (I am open to other ideas, but this seemed sufficient). -- _jsn |This simple little package...| http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/maccatcher-1.0.0

Hi I notice that this only prints one MAC address. Some people have more than one network interface, wouldn't it be better to show all of them? Also, on my system I need to run `ifconfig -a` to show all interfaces since it defaults to showing only interfaces which are up. Jeff

I can look into this. -- _jsn
