Yep. Ouch, actually my instance is quite broken - mixing signed and unsigned integers needs a bit more care than that (will fix). Strangely enough, c2hs still seems to work. > The way I took care of the Exception problem was just by importing > OldException when the base version is 4.0 or newer.

I didn't like having to sprinkle even more #ifdefs all over the place, and as long as we want to be backwards compatible with ghc 6.8 and 6.6 (and 6.4?) there seemed to be little point in using the new Exception mechanism. There's a small cleanup to the GHC_PKG_CHECK macro in acinclude.m4 that I'd like to keep, but I can seperate that out into its own patch. > I'll post my patch here in a bit so we can decide democratically how to > handle this. I'll resend my patches in my next mail.
