Porting GHC-5 to Mac OS X/Darwin

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

John

In general, cvs-ghc@haskell.org is the right place for GHC developers to
hang out.
If you send just to me, I may miss it.

It's great to have your help with porting!  But check who else is doing
the same
thing.  I know at least one person, maybe 2, are working on a MacOSX
port.

Simon Marlow will tell you who they are.
