Hi all,
Attached are some patches for the extensible-exceptions library, which
lets packages use the new exceptions API portably on all versions of
ghc (well, at least as far back as 6.6.1, from my tests).
To summarize: I filled out the API by copying all of the missing
functions from base4:Control.Exception, and edited the .cabal file to
make 'cabal install extensible-exceptions' do the right thing.
Also, I'm eager to have this package on hackage so that I can start
using it in my own libraries; let me know if there's anything else I
could do to work towards that goal.
Thanks,
-Judah

* Use Cabal flags to select which version of Control.Exception to
build on top of. This ensures that cabal-install will use the correct
version of base.
