Updating External Core docs for 6.10

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

OK so regardless of doing the "ship ExtCore ps doc with GHC" issue, we should in-place update the doc at http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/papers/core.ps.gz

I don't know how do to that... does anyone else?

| Could you please upload a new document, and point at the new one? I
| think the "standard" reference for GHC Core is a link to that paper,
| and it would be nice for the references in papers to stay valid. For
| example The Monad Reader Issue 7, Yhc.Core paper cites Andrew Tolmach
| 2001 with a link to that document.
|
| Of course, an updated Core document would be fantastic! If you covered
| how to generate external Core for an entire program including
| libraries I would buy you a beer at ICFP :-)
|
| Thanks
