That's actually a lie!  I started the rebuild already yesterday and
have a complete repo for you to play with at

    [haskell-testing]
    Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/testing/$arch

Around 12UTC today I'll move it all to [hasell-core], unless someone
comes up with something good to change.

Goto labels should be left-aligned in all caps and should include the
programmer's name, home phone number, and credit card number.
