What haskell needs is something along the lines of CPAN. Contributed module=
s=20
of various utility. Not part of the base libraries, but never-the-less usef=
ul=20
and maybe needed for your project.

I just poked around and got a copy of a "set" data type. Sure beats writing=
=20
one.

There are lot's of FFI's piling floating around as well.

So there's three major categories to start with, that code is already float=
ing=20
around for:

Parsers
Data Structures
=46FI

I'm sure there are several more, this was just off the top of my head.
