great – for the purposes of splitting base I don’t care which one is
taken, as long as I know that there is some way.


I have now changed my setup so that I can modify the files without
removing others or moving them to different branches or symlinking. This
way, a simple "git diff ghc-7.6 base-split" lists all changes.
I also created a script to check whether every module is in exactly one
of the new packages.

See 
https://github.com/nomeata/packages-base/blob/base-split/README.md
for a description of the setup and an explanation of the changes
applied.

Contributions welcome!

Greetings,
Joachim
