  * resolution:  => fixed

Comment:

 Done.  In template-haskell:

 {{{
 Fri Jun 12 11:17:36 BST 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * abstractify ModName, PkgName and OccName; drop dependency on
 packedstring
 }}}

 And ghc:

 {{{
 Mon May 18 05:09:57 PDT 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * drop packedstring; it is no longer required by template-haskell
 }}}
