Bumping "extralib" library versions

All,
There is unfortunately some synchronisation between ghc releases and the
releases of various common libraries, the so-called "extralibs"
collection. So I'd like to look briefly at what the version numbers of
theses packages should be. It is important that we do increase the
version numbers if there are changes since the last releases. In cases
where the package's HEAD repo is maintained somewhere other than
darcs.haskell.org/packages/$pkg that we do not break the version scheme
used by the package maintainer.
The current set of "extralibs" packages is:
ALUT
arrows
cgi
fgl
GLUT
haskell-src
HGL
html
HUnit
mtl
network
ObjectIO
OpenAL
OpenGL
parallel
parsec
QuickCheck
regex-base
regex-compat
regex-posix
stm
time
X11
xhtml
For each one I'd like to identify where the HEAD repo is, what the last
released version was, what the current version number in the darcs
version is, if there are any changes since that release and if so what
the new release number ought to be.
These version number bumps are based on existing versioning practise for
these libraries rather than the proposed package versioning policy.
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy#Version_numbers
I have also listed for each package what the next version number would
be under the proposed package versioning policy.They are marked as "PVP
next version".
If you think I've got any of these details wrong, please say so.

==========
bytestring

Current version: 1.0.1
Changes since: build system changes
Suggested next version: ???
PVP next version: 1.0.0.1
Note: If the version number identifies the api to some degree, then the
H98 api never changes so it's version number should never increment,
except in the micro revision for build system changes.
==========

Released version: 1.0 (ghc-6.6.1 extralibs tarball)
