I've had no luck contacting Dean Herington using the email address posted on
the HUnit page.

Sounds like this is the first case where the latest version isn't a stable
one (Go Haskell!).  Is it much trouble for package maintainers to package
GHC with HUnit.1.1.1?  To keep it simple, maybe there should be an
HUnitStable branch where 1.1.1 is the latest version?

Thanks,
Greg
