Remote GHCi

[Simon Marlow]

I think there will be ways to do what you want in the context of a 
remote interpreter, but I'll need to understand more about the way in 
which you use dynCompileExpr.

What do you do with the result of dynCompileExpr?  Can you run that code 
in the context of the interpreter instead?

Cheers
Simon
