Yes.  The qcon_demo tag is the demarcation of where the code properly
compiled for the iPad.

Then I went and did a bunch of stuff that requires GHC 7 and also splits
the language out from the iPad part because Visi will run on OS X and in
the cloud as well as on the iPad.

You might want to check out https://github.com/dpp/LispHaskellIPad

That compiles for the iPad at master.  It might be an easier starting place
for you.
