[Haskell-cafe] Bit streams programs in Haskell

Due to a few changes, this caveat no longer applies.  As a result
Haskell performs just a bit better.  The code is still at
http://cse.unl.edu/~sjanssen/huffman.hs.  The old main is left for
reference, renamed to main'.

Run time (in seconds) for 10 iterations:
    O'Caml: 35.9
    Old Haskell: 25.6
    New Haskell: 8.8
