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

I think most of the communication code could go into a separate executable
that can be built by the user for the target-specific communication. The
GHC API facing part of the implementation in GHCJS is under 300 lines and
that includes some non-exported code duplicated from GHC, so I'm reasonably
optimistic that it can be done without too much impact.

Unfortunately I won't have much time in the near future, since a GHCJS
release is well overdue (mostly because I keep adding features like
this...) and I want to focus on that first, but getting it ready before
7.10 should be doable (especially if other people want to help!)
