[cvs-nhc98] Legacy question

[Sven Panne]

A few tools within nhc98 are built by the bootstrapping compiler:

    hmake, greencard, nhc98 itself, cpphs, and hsc2hs

My question is: What should be the minimum requirement for the bootstrapping
compiler? Haskell 1.4? Haskell 98? The latter would be preferable IMHO,
because we have quite a few Haskell-98-conformant systems nowadays :-) and
the code could be cleaned up a bit.

Cheers,
    S.
