OK, I've put them back in base for the time being.

Data.Graph uses Data.Array.ST (for GHC at least), so containers depends
on array anyway. It might be possible to make this a conditional
dependency with cabal configs, but I don't know if there are other deps,
and I'm not sure why hugs doesn't use the ST version anyway.
