The issue with pre-processing is a big one - and one not easily solvable. It has already bit developers (bos posted about it recently), and it will bite again.<div><br></div><div>I'm also feeling at a loss to actually test the Platform. Normally I do a big system build, like Pandoc, or my own Plush to prove that a wider variety of developer packages will compile with the platform. Alas, none of those will compile with 7.8.3 and this platform. [for the curious: texmath ends up in a compilation that never ends during the profiling lib build, and Plush relies on warp, which puts it into it's own cabal hell...)</div>
