Does it matter which version of GHC? As far as I know, there's no
External Core parser that will work with the code emitted by
-fext-core in 6.6. (Aaron Tomb and I (mostly Aaron) have been working
on getting that working again.) I have a parser that works with (IIRC)
GHC 6.0 somewhere, though it would take a little bit of finding. If
that would be useful for you, let me know.

Cheers,
Kirsten
