request for HUnit in hierarchical libs?

Sure, hoick it on over.

We'll ship it with GHC and build it by default if it has an active
maintainer with CVS access.

When the library infrastructure project comes to fruition, I'd like to
see us split some of these packages off into separate shippable
entities, but for the time being bundling with compilers is fine.

No objections here.  Leave Debug.QuickCheck as an indirection for a
while, marked deprecated.
