web-routes depends on network, and network depends on parsec 2. So we
already depend (indirectly) on parsec 2 whether we want to or not. (On
debian, for example, to install libghc6-network-dev,  libghc6-parsec-dev
must also be installed).

So, I think that means that adding parsec 2 as a direct dependency should
not be an issue in terms of adding any new dependencies? (Ignoring the
question as to whether parsec is the right tool for the job in the first
place).
