 Dan Corson suggests:
 it would be good to have links
 to latest versions of a package file available for download.  for example:
 something like
 {{{
 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/arrows/latest.tar.gz
 }}}
 would be a link to
 {{{
 http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/arrows/0.4/arrows-0.4.tar.gz
 }}}
 this would greatly simplify automating installs.
