In versions 5.00 <= ghc <= 6.2.2, the result of
ghc -v 2>&1 | head -2
was something like
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.2.2, ....
Using package config file: /grp/haskell/lib/ghc-6.2.2/package.conf
whereas with 6.4, these two lines have been swapped:
Reading package config file:
/usr/malcolm/local/lib/ghc-6.4.20050209/package.conf
Glasgow Haskell Compiler, Version 6.4.20050209, ....
and the "Using package config" message has become "Reading package
config". These changes are minor and unnecessary: in particular they
make the detection of configuration information (by hmake) rather
more complicated than it ought to be. I know this is a pretty trivial
complaint, but the -v behaviour has been stable for a few years now,
so why change it arbitrarily?

Malcolm
