The compatibility issue is mainly that GHC 6.10 ships with base-4.0,  
which as with past major revisions is not compatible with earlier  
major versions.  There are some tricks that can be used to make cabal- 
based packages use the compatibility base-3 package included; see the  
wiki page http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Upgrading_packages for  
details.
