I'm sort of shocked by the many dependencies (already via http-types) on blaze-builder, text, case-insensitive and (really unnecessarily) on base-unicode-symbols.
As far as I am aware, base-unicode-symbols only works on GHC 6.12 and above. For Hoogle, which uses WAI, I deliberately try and work on GHC version 6.10 as well - GHC 7 is only very just out, and a version which is basically functional for most users has only been released in the last week - making 6.10 effectively the release before last. Excluding 6.10 for good reasons is fine, excluding it for a fairly unnecessary dependency makes me sad. Thanks, Neil
