Comment(by thoughtpolice):
I'm moving these patches to git as we speak and making sure everything
still works. The initial commit containing the verboten work from darcs
will (soon) be available here:
https://github.com/thoughtpolice/ghc/tree/plugins
The patches don't affect anything other than the main compiler repository.
I've been busy and still need testsuite patches. :/
I tested this a while ago before the VCS switchover (the SF bay
hackathon,) and there seemed to be failures on OS X. I'm investigating
them. I'd also like to test on windows before they get merged.
@shelarcy, recently, Simon Marlow refactored the way module initialization
is done, see this commit: a52ff7619e8b7d74a9d933d922eeea49f580bca8 - the
result is that plugins should no longer bloat the executables that use,
say, module annotations. Thus you should be able to safely include both
annotations and GHC plugins themselves in the same package.
There's some work to be done but I'd still like to get this done in time
for 7.2.1 hopefully.
