[Haskell-cafe] Possibility to port vshaskell to VS2008?

[Peter Verswyvelen]

It might be even better to port it to the freely available downloadable
Visual Studio Shell:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx2008/products/bb933751.aspx

The F# plugin works for that environment, giving a very good free IDE.

Cheers,
Peter (on Fedora 8 using, woohoo, my first steps on Linux :)
