[Haskell-iPhone] Can we patch official GHC to make iOS development easier?

[Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone]]

All,

This is a quick note to let everyone know that Luke and I are working in 
earnest right now to get the iOS compiler integrated into mainline GHC, 
and I've submitted our first patch:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7690

Our work in progress can be seen in the master-merge-ios branch at 
https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc
