I am happy to take care of funnelling Barney's changes into the main  
repo.  However, I think there was at least one more mentioned in  
another email.

Barney, do you have a comprehensive set of the changes that you made  
(ideally against the HEAD repo, or a nightly snapshot, but if that's  
difficult, then against 6.10)?  And did you try to run the testsuite http://darcs.haskel.org/testsuite 
  with the compiler that you generated?
