If you mean "everyone happy with a LGPL", then I would agree. But GHC and
Hugs use a BSD-style license, so cpphs is not an option for them. After
some googling and testing I found MCPP (http://directory.fsf.org/MCPP.html),
which is a highly configurable preprocessor with a small footprint and a
BSD license. Shipping this as an internal tool with GHC 6.4 and the next
Hugs release (especially for use with the hugs-package tool) should be
possible, I see what I can do...

Cheers,
    S.

P.S.: Ross, any schedule for a Hugs release yet?
