[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: GHC version 7.6.1

[Christian Hoener zu Siederdissen]

Hi Ian,

thanks for the info about 7.8. Just to be clear, the new codegen
apparently saved my runtimes for the presentation on tuesday. \My\ new
code was slower than my old code. The new code generator fixed that,
giving me equal running times with much cooler features. I currently
assume (without having checked at all) due to dead variable elimination.

So if it is getting better, I'd be really really happy.

Gruss,
Christian
