[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: jhc-0.8.1

[Krzysztof Skrzętnicki]

Hello,

I tried compiling jhc from source (compiled version doesn't work on my
system) but after several attempts I just couldn't find a working set of
libraries for it. Can you specify which versions of libraries are known to
work for jhc?

Best regards,
Krzysztof Skrzętnicki
