What I currently do is most oftenly: Find packages for my task at hand at 
Hackage, watch the code, decide that fixing their issues needs longer than 
writing a new package from scratch and then do this. I think that 
improving code quality should also be a goal, not only increasing the 
amount of libraries regardless of their quality.

Have you checked whether the found libraries can be still compiled, at 
all?
