[jhc] [bug][jhc 7.7] about newIOArray: variable undeclared in the generated C source

[John Meacham]

Hi, I'd rather have DrIFT depend only on haskell98, that will give it
the widest range of compilers it will work on. as far as i know, it is
already pure haskell 98 so it should just need the right compile flag
on new versions of ghc.

I tend to mainly keep jhc compatible with what is in ubuntus stable
release, which is ghc 7.0.2 at the moment. though patches for newer
versions would be appreciated of course.
