[Haskell-cafe] Hugs

[Robin Palotai]

By the way, I have some patches around that package Hugs as a native Chrome
app (via NaCL), and has a working REPL console in the browser.

It could use some love - integrating with HTML5 file API or such to
save/load files, packaging up and releasing on Chrome store. I'm not likely
to have time for that, but if anyone is interested please ping me and will
hand it over.
