Oh, here's another thought: if we standardise the locations of as many libraries as possible, then it becomes reasonable for a compiler to do this:

$ nhc foo.hs nhc: module `Foo' imports `Lang.Concurrent', which is a Haskell language extension not supported by this compiler.

$ ghc bar.hs ghc: module `Bar' imports `Graphics.UI.Gtk' which is not installed. It may be obtained from "http://www.foo.bar.com".

Yes, it looks attractive. Basically it would require a database of library/distribution info - which ideally should be compiler independent. Regards, Malcolm
