Broken packages on hackage

[Magnus Therning]

I see dataenc is in the list below, which I found a bit surprising since it
does indeed build fine with the split up base package.  However, when I
hacked its cabal file I thought it made more sense to use a flag called
large_base which defaults to false, rather than a flag called small-base
which defaults to true.  If the consensus is to use small-base I'll be happy
to change it.
