[jhc] How to fire jhc rules

[John Meacham]

Hmm... I'll have to take a look at it. you shouldn't need the
global-optimizer or rules flags. There was a subtle bug that kept
rules from firing in the same module in which they were declared if
compiled directly and the module was not found in the cache. could you
try moving the use of h and f to another module and trying variations
of --no-ho too see if it can work? you could also try the latest darcs
version.
