Thanks, I'll update my copy of the hierarchy and keep it here:
http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/lib-hierarchy.html
at some point I should put this in the main libraries document, and make =
it clear which modules are part of the "core" libraries.

I think we had already agreed to move this sub-hierarchy under =
FileFormats (see the hierarchy at the link above).

Win32 includes both System and Graphics stuff, so shouldn't it go at the =
top level? =20

Someone needs to come up with a proposal and some code, and we go from =
there :-)
