[Haskell-cafe] Is Hs-Plugins dead?

It's in stasis. It will likely get a little bit more updating when I
finish my phd.  It's needed for lambdabot in #haskell, so that's enough
pressure to keep it working :-)

For the longer term, a more maintainable approach is to provide an
hs-plugins api over the ghc-api, in my opinion. Then the bits of
hs-plugins that break when compiler versions change (.hi file parsing
and package file parsing), won't break.
