Yes, I fully intend to create a ticket with a detailed description and a first patch, but I've been struggling with the latest HEAD, and specifically the fact that it now uses dynamic libraries for TH. I (think I am) stuck at a Cabal bug and I cannot currently build my code at all :-/ Duncan is looking into this though.
