GHC seems to have its own solution in fptools/ghc/lib/compat/ but having a cabal package and supporting e.g. Data.Map/Set could make things easier. Does this sound like a good idea or is there a much better solution?
I think it's a good idea. It would be nice to have a single Cabal package for all the differences between 6.2 and 6.4, including HUnit, Data.Queue, and others. It would certainly be useful to me, since I still use 6.2 for some stuff, but I don't know how many ppl are like me. Of course, it would be better to have multiple Cabal packages, but Cabal doesn't implement inter-dependent packages in one .cabal file yet. I hope to soon! peace, isaac
