Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:1346 simonmar]:
 > There's some work to do on 6.8 to ensure that we can still bootstrap
 from HC files.  This will be slightly harder due to the new Cabal-based
 build system for libraries, and the solution will probably involve 'setup
 makefile' somewhere.  Also we'll need to update the building guide to
 include the new instructions, whatever they may be.
