For Gentoo users who want to help test building from source there is a
corresponding ebuild here:

http://haskell.org/~gentoo/gentoo-haskell/portage/dev-lang/ghc/

Today's snapshot ebuild is ghc-6.4.2_pre20060327.ebuild but if you find
we're out of date you can usually just rename it for the right day's
snapshot.
