Hello Brian,

"sh darcs-all get" in a darcs repo. The core packages are:
base, haskell98, template-haskell, readline, stm,
Cabal, unix, Win32
Should mtl not also be included here too as it is a relatively small
package but seems fundamental to monadic programming which is one of
the major highlights of Haskell?
Ie doesn't almost everyone use at least one of the mtl transformers
in their code?
the idea is not "what we all use", but "what a required to build ghc
itself, or closely depend on ghc version". i instead may propose to
remove unix/win32 here - i guess that these packages are rather
independent on GHC version
Ok I see now, that the whole point is to avoid having to download everything
every time the ghc version changes, so I withdraw my suggestion about
including mtl in the core :-)
