Hi, I have been going through the failing cases, the newest patches
published should fix several more of the tests, (and hopefully speed up
others). 

My hope is that the work Taral is doing at hunting down the space leaks
will allow compilation of ByteString which should help out a signifigant
number of the currently broken due to missing bytestring ones as well.
