[Haskell-cafe] different code in different platforms

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi,

Does it really have to change statically?

In Yhc, we use a runtime test to check between Windows and Linux. It
has various advantages - we only have one code base, everything is
type checked when we compile, and we've never run into any problems
once despite developing on two different platforms.
