7.8 branch is created, HEAD is now open, and a note on merges

Austin,

> Blargh, I'll fix this shortly. Thanks Pali.

Please do. I also hit upon this bug. I could build GHC head yesterday
but not today.

P.S.

Even if this is fixed, "validate" does not work on my Mac recently due
to a haddock problem of the xhtml library. Does anyone see this
problem?
