Is there a plan of how to get hackage DB up to speed with GHC 6.8 ?

I've often thought about a sort of elevator pitch for Haskell.
However, every time I sit down to think about this, I come to the same

I downloaded MinGW and MSYS and tried to install the GLUT library. I
just can't get the thing to work, and I feel like I'm sitting in my
own little section of Hell.
I have tried everything I could think of so far, and it still doesn't work.
Today I tried to sanitize my machine and

When combining monadic and non-monadic code, I've often wished for a
magical combinator of type
(Monad m) = ((a - b) - c) - (a - m b) - m c
which would let me inject a monadic function into a pure one, then
wrap the ultimate result to ensure that no

I've heard contravariant functors referred to as cofunctors, and I've also
heard objections to that term. As I'm preparing to release some libraries
using contravariant functors, I'd appreciate hearing preferences and/or
reasons. For instance, another name would be Contrafunctor.
