hs-plugins? Mmm... what an interesting concept.

I've crawled all over the webpage, and I can't see any documentation 
anywhere to this effect, but presumably all this dynamic goodness only 
works if GHC is installed, right?

BTW... Does lambdabot seriously take every expression you type and 
compile it to a binary executable, dynamically link it, and execute it? 
I was expecting it to just run a simple source-level interpreter...
