Since I live only five minutes away from this year's Hackathon venue,
I guess it would be kind of silly to have such an event in my
neighborhood and not go to it! :) 

I would enjoy working on this during the hackathon. Is there a reason
to not start with a simple, Haskell-only implementation? And later use
techniques known from ByteStrings and stream fusion to improve on that.
