Bootstrapping Hugs

Currently we have a chicken and egg problem when building hugs without any 
hugs being installed already:

   panne at jeanluc:~> make MAJOR_RELEASE=1 rpm
   ...
   Preprocessing Distribution/Simple/Utils
   Preprocessing Distribution/Version
   Preprocessing Language/Haskell/Extension
   echo timestamp for bootlib >bootlib/.stamp
   cd ../cpphs; ../src/runhugs -98 
-P../libraries/bootlib ../packages/Cabal/examples/hapax.hs configure 
--verbose --hugs --scratchdir=../hugsdir
   Configuring cpphs-1.1...
   configure: searching for ffihugs in path.
   ../packages/Cabal/examples/hapax.hs: Cannot find compiler for ffihugs
   make[3]: *** [../hugsdir/programs/cpphs/Main.hs] Error 1
   make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/rpm/BUILD/hugs98-Feb2006/libraries'
   make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
   make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/rpm/BUILD/hugs98-Feb2006'

If I see it correctly, hugs is not under darcs control yet, neither is it 
integrated into trac, correct? I'm just catching up about a month's worth of 
emails... :-P

Cheers,
   S.
