ok, cool!  NB: i will try to email lennart one more time after the "block leave" on his auto reply is over (at EdwardK's suggestion), so may 6th, and if that doesn't get a reply in a day or so, i've the thumbs up from 2+ core libraries committee members to push the fix myself

Dear Carter,

thanks for taking care of this.  I have no desire of becoming
maintainer of geniplate.

The only changes to geniplate required are version bumps.  The new
cabal file has been attached to several of my message, and also in the
one publicly linked (far) below, but voila, here is it again.

It also puts some constraints on mtl to avoid using the broken 2.1.

Cheers,
Andreas

P.S.: Sorry for the slow response, I have been moving and had problems
sending email.
