Good to hear it works fine. The main reason why it is listed as "in  
progress" is that I never had enough time or sufficient access to a  
an Intel Mac to convince myself that it is indeed finished.  
Basically, I stopped working on it shortly after I managed to run one  
of my toy programs through GHCi on Mac OS X/x86.
I've been busy, so I've been unable to do my duty as a maintainer and  
keep track of how stable the port actually is; I intend to get more  
involved with GHC again "Real Soon Now", and I also intend to get a  
new Mac, so I hope I'll be able to help improve this situation.

Cheers,

Wolfgang
