GHCJS now runs Template Haskell on node.js - Any interest in out of process TH for general cross compilation?

Yes! This would definitely be of great interest to users of the
Android cross compilers. It should be quite feasible to drive a TH
runner process on a development device or emulator. Having genuine TH
support would be a huge improvement to the usefulness of GHC in a
cross compiling scenario.

I would love to start work on integrating TH runner support into
ghc-android.
