Hi,
I've been meaning to write up an update of darcs-relevant things from
ICFP, but haven't got round to it, and this is one of them.

It was just brought to my attention that GHC is getting a new IO system.
I'm not sure which release this will debut in, maybe 6.12.
Yep.
As I understand it, we won't need utf8-string anymore once this hits.
That's correct (well, once we've dropped support for 6.10, which I guess
is a couple of years off). One thing we need to check for is that we're
not doing openFile rather than openBinaryFile on a binary file and then
expecting to get back a list of Chars that are actually Word8 - because
that assumption will suddenly break - but it's unlikely we are doing that
given that it would also break line-ending characters on Windows if we
did.
Cheers,
Ganesh
