Is there any downside? The source has a lot of '#ifdef __NHC__' - should this be specifically outside of that? Do we care? Also - CC'ing the maintainer of the package.

According to the website of NHC it doesn't provide the DeriveDataTypeable extension. I could change the patch to only dervive Typeable when not compiling with NHC.
Also - CC'ing the maintainer of the package.
Oops sorry Ryan, I was assuming the package was still maintained by libraries@haskell.org. But let's keep the discussion public if it's alright with you. Regards, Bas
