Except the Platform is based on the sources, etc. ...

This is not really an issue as the makefile can: 1. Install uniplate, src-exts etc into a temporary location and a temporary package list 2. Compile hint wrt. that file 3. Zap the temporary package list and temporarily installed libraries

So you still get the source code for those packages in your Platform download but they never show up in "ghc-pkg list" for the user.

Ummm... I should be able to download the GHC source tarball (or generic unix binary) + the HP source tarball and be good to go from there.
