Argh, I'm an idiot - forgot haskell98 somehow. Sorry.

I think stuff like this should really be in a script somewhere -  
something like GHC's darcs-all.
This is slightly selfish, of course: currently I need the no-main  
functionality that's only in the darcs build,
so I have to include detailed instructions on how to install ghc,  
darcs, DRiFT and jhc in my own project. What are your plans re the  
next release?

I haven't had a lot of time to work on the buildbot, as I'm giving a  
talk at FP-Sydney on Thursday, but I should be able to get onto it  
pretty soon.
