The current provenance of all the major Haskell compilers, and most of
the minor ones, is outside the US.

	ghc		UK
	Hugs		UK
	nhc98		UK
	hbc		Sweden
	Cayenne		Sweden
	Chameleon	Singapore
	UHC/EHC		Netherlands
	yhc		UK

the main exceptions being:
	jhc		US
	Eager Haskell	US

But in any case, afaik none of the compilers includes a crypto library
by default.  Dominic Steinitz (UK again) distributes hs-crypto
separately.
