Data instances in ghc 6.2.1?

[Ralf Laemmel]

Hi Claus,
the tuple instances did not make it into GHC 6.2 because of CVS 
branching policy.
GHC CVS HEAD compiles the example.
And yes, SPJ approved recently that Language.Haskell.Syntax should 
derive Data and Typeable.
But, I can't access cvs.haskell.org.
Already for a while, it asks for my password, which I never got handed out.
