GHC on MacOS

[Mathew Mills]

I won't have an Intel mac for another 30 days or so.  I intend to do  
whatever it takes to get a working ghc 6.6 on that platform.

Is no one working on this port?  It seems to me that this should be a  
very simple port ( as simple as GHC ports get... ).  I am surprised  
it isn't done yet.
