i think that most important tasks is splitting off of rather new code,
especially code added/changed in 6.6. this can create possibility to use
it with ghc 6.4; moreover, this code is more likely to change in
future
i don't know every bit of base lib, but i suppose that any code on
which ghc.*/Hugs.Prelude is not dependent can be easily moved outside?
