Thanks for the useful heads-up - a very valuable service.

To fix HaXml to work with ghc-6.6, I have pushed two new versions: 1.17
is the development branch, and 1.13.2 is the stable branch.

    1.13.2:  http://www.haskell.org/HaXml
    1.17:    http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/HaXml-devel

Hopefully this will enable some other packages to build now as well.

I note hmake's failure, and have pushed a possible fix to the darcs
repo, but will not make a release until I have tested it more
thoroughly.

Regards,
