Comment:
Here's the state of things: The output path (printing out External Core)
should work in the HEAD. I am currently trying to verify that and to
update the ext-core documentation.
The input path (reading in External Core) is a difficult problem. Aaron
and I are both punting on it, for the immediate future. I would be happy
to go into the deep reasons why this is hard, but I think you may know
already, and am not sure how important this is to anyone.
I am going to update the GHC manual to reflect that the input path isn't
working and there are no immediate plans to fix it.
