Existing libraries and tools

[Alastair Reid]

Whilst we're thinking about library infrastructure, binary packages, orphaned 
libraries, etc.  I just found what I think is the most comprehensive list of 
Haskell libraries and tools in existence.  This list is basically all the 
Haskell-related FreeBSD ports for:

  http://www.freshports.org/haskell/

It's a very impressive list - far more comprehensive than for any other 
platform.

A very useful feature is that each entry includes links to the homepages of 
libraries and tools so it's easy to find a source package if you don't happen 
to use FreeBSD.

I realized how useful this list was while creating a table of which libraries 
are available on which packaging systems.  The table is near the bottom of:

   http://haskell.org/hawiki/LibrariesAndTools

Apologies for any errors. Please make any necessary corrections directly...
