okay, thanks (seems there's always a reason to look forward to the
next release, and the one after, and .. ;-). 

[has there been any progress on the idea of having weekly or so 
 windows snapshots of CVS GHC generated automatically?]

For context: I wanted to show people in the haskell tools thread

- how easy it is these days to write a Haskell program transformation
    for instrumenting source code with asserts, e.g. to get location info
    for heads of empty lists :-)
- why these lovely new tools won't be used because even without 
    transformations they don't reproduce the source :-(

But as they can't use this in the current release anyway, I'll leave
it at that.

ago, after which people had to reestablish their access rights with 
whoever holds those.

Cheers,
