Comment:

 How did you get the dependencies built?  I'm having various problems.

 {{{
 > cabal install --with-ghc=$ghcwrk --only-dependencies
 Resolving dependencies...
 cabal: cannot configure haskeline-0.6.4.0. It requires base ==2.*
 There is no available version of base that satisfies ==2.*
 }}}

 I don't understand this error message at all, since I already have
 `haskeline-0.6.4.0` installed.  Furthermore, when I just `cabal
 configure`, it doesn't mention `haskeline` as a missing dependency:

 {{{
 > cabal configure --with-ghc=$ghcwrk
 Resolving dependencies...
 Configuring darcs-2.7.3...
 setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
 hashed-storage >=0.5.6 && <0.6,
 html ==1.0.*,
 parsec >=2.0 && <3.2,
 regex-compat >=0.95.1,
 tar ==0.3.*,
 text ==0.11.*,
 vector >=0.7,
 zlib >=0.5.1.0 && <0.6.0.0
 }}}

 I tried installing `hashed-storage` manually, but `zlib` is not building
 with GHC HEAD right now:

 {{{
