Do you think it would be possible to move away from DrIFT yet? 6.10+TH should cover the cases, no?

A goal of jhc is to be self hosting sooner rather than later, I am trying to keep usage of extensions to a minimum and even then restricted to what is very likely to be in haskell'. Template Haskell is not something I am ready to depend on just yet. DrIFT is pure haskell 98 and can be removed as a dependency by including the generated files in the tarball. Though, eventually, I'd like to see a standalone implementation of template haskell, which would change things around. In any case, with my recent changes, DrIFT isn't required to compile any more[1] unless you do a 'make maintainer-clean' to really really clean things up, so it shouldn't be an issue for end users.
