GHC 5.00 release update

Yes, that's the proposal.  Dynamic bindings in let only,
no mixing of dynamic and non-dynamic bindings in the same let,
the let is non-recursive, top to bottom.  

I want to get rid of 'with' keyword too, but 
I don't want to make this change unless Hugs makes it too
(or at least advertises an intention to do so).  Gratuitious differences
are probably even worse than a spurious keyword.

I've asked
the Hugs folk about this, but they are havn't had an oportunity
to reply yet.
