[Haskell] boilerplate boilerplate

[Alex Jacobson]

Actually independent deriving would help a lot but am not sure of the 
syntax. 

could it be something like

   derive (Ord,Eq,Read,Show,Typeable) (BlogEntry Name Title Body Emai)

Perhaps this is what Neil Mitchell was suggesting with Derive that I was 
not understanding.  If I can use derive like this without a 
pre-processor that would be very nice.
