Dynamic Compilation

[Keean Schupke]

We are using a web server written in Haskell in a production 
environment... It only serves dynamic pages - it is
a bit like Tomcat for Haskell... It uses the ghci linker interface to 
load object files... but does not compile automatically.
I think it sould be possible to embed ghc into an application, although 
I haven't looked at the interface.

    Regards,
    Keean Schupke.
