HLint is written using view-patterns so requires GHC 6.10 to compile
it. After you have it compiled its just a standard Haskell binary, so
can be run on any Haskell code and will never suggest view-patterns
anyway. Alas compiling without GHC 6.10 is not possible, but if you
can get a binary from elsewhere it should run on your machine (subject
to cabal configure stuff being set appropriately, which I don't
understand...).

Thanks

Neil
