[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: haskell-src-exts 1.14.0

[Dag Odenhall]

Wouldn't it be better to only enable Haskell2010 and XmlSyntax and then
rely on LANGUAGE pragmas? I guess optimally we want to add support for
-Xoptions to
hsx2hs but in the mean time…

BTW I think hsx2hs is in fact affected by these backwards-incompatible
changes, and lacks an upper bound on its HSE dependency!

Is hub.darcs.net the official location of the hsx2hs repository these days?
