No problem.  :-)
It's not that important, since I'm most probably the only one who used
it until now and that--so far--only for building darcs...  :-/

How can I create a `generic binary bundle' from a built source tree,
like the ones you provide on
<URL:http://haskell.org/ghc/download_ghc_641.html>?

I'm also preparing support for the Debian packages around ghc, to make
them buildable under Debian GNU/Hurd; I only have to figure out a few
things with respect to X libraries: the transistion to X.org, where also
some porting work is required.
However, I already have .debs of an older build, in case someone is
interested.
