Comment (by int-e):
So I gave this a try -- see the attachment. (The attachment is a shell
script, because the changes span several packages, and I wanted the result
to be readable and easy to apply.)
There are several places in the libraries where {{{IOError}}} isn't used
abstractly. My approach was to replace the constructor uses by a
combination of {{{mkIOError}}} and {{{ioeSetErrorString}}}. The idea is
that this way, the code should continue to work with {{{ghc-6.10.1}}} and
also survive future changes to the {{{IOError}}} type, without adding more
{{{#ifdef}}} clutter.
Does this approach seem reasonable?
