I was just looking for any input before I did anything crazy on their servers. Thanks for all the help, Michael. If I find anything earth-shattering, I'll be sure to post it to the list.

I'm not sure how compatible Yesod and ghc-6.4 will be with one another. Perhaps I'll make a project of it. The environment has most of the necessary build tools, as far as I can see, so I can probably pull it off as long as I play nicely. There wouldn't happen to be a way to get a gcc config/makefile combo out of a Yesod project, would there? :D
