[Haskell-iPhone] Announcing GHC-iOS

[Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone]]

Manuel,

"The tyranny of distance didn't stop the cavalier, so why should it stop 
me?" as the famous New Zealand song goes. ...It's so far! ...I'll have 
to admit defeat this year. Luke, you're it!

I'm so happy we've got work completed, and I will be sure to celebrate 
with a beer from the local shops.
