I think we are on track to get this done on time.  The type-nats-simple
branch should be working (at least when I build it with no dynamic
libraries) and up to date with HEAD, and there are some tests in a branched
version of the testuite.

One question:  when I try to validate things, my build fails with this
error:

Reachable modules from DynFlags out of date
Please fix compiler/ghc.mk, or building DLLs on Windows may break (#7780)
Extra modules: BinIface BuildTyCl CoreLint FamInst Finder IOEnv IfaceEnv
LoadIface PrelInfo TcIface TcMType TcRnMonad TcRnTypes TcTypeNats

Any advice on what might be going wrong?
