The modern equivalent is be to copy the Src directory to
/opt/local/lib/hugs/packages/Haskore.  Unfortunately Haskore also uses
some obsolete stuff: replace fromInt with fromIntegral, and see

	http://www.mail-archive.com/haskell-cafe@haskell.org/msg16664.html

for replacements for IOExtensions.  You'll also need

	import Control.Concurrent (bracket)

for the first one.
