hoopl questions

[Jan Stolarek]

Brett, if you'd like to do some work on Hoopl and contribute to GHC at the same time please take a 
look here:

http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Hoopl/Cleanup

This page sumarizes some conclusions Simon and I reached during my summer internship. In the end I 
didn't have enough time to implement them and most likely I won't. Maybe you'd be interested in 
picking up that project?
