Well, the tarballs don't require anything but ghc, so if you want to
distribute your tree to someone else, you can just do a 'make dist' and
send them the tarball that is generated. Automated tarballs from the
darcs tree would be very nice to have actually.

my release plans were to produce a 0.7.0 that has the front end
improvements I have been working on recently, the redone library and ho
support, the better progress updates, the automatic use of the ho cache,
and so forth. Then do a 0.8.0 release that has back end improvements, a
better code generator and a linear type analysis grin phase.

0.7.0 will likely be sometime this week, though if people can test the
current darcs version, that would be nice. A _lot_ of front end code has
changed since the last release, and I will likely make 0.7.0 a 'big
release' in that I post it to the general haskell lists in addition to
the jhc one.

I may put a 0.6.9 in there for jhc people to play with that want to use
the tarball or yum repository before the official 0.7.0 release.
