[Haskell-cafe] Extract source code from literate Haskell (LHS) files

something like:
    sed -e '/^[^>]/d' -e 's/^>//g' < foo.lhs > foo.hs

the first expression deletes lines not starting with ">".  The
second expression removes the ">" at the beginning of each line.

or if you prefer to keep the comments:

    sed -e 's/^[^>]/-- /g' -e 's/^>//g' < foo.lhs > foo.hs

the first expression puts "-- " at the start of each line without
a ">".
