Comment (by duncan):
For 2009.2.0.2 we are shipping a newer version of network than comes with
ghc-6.10.4 and the same older version of time. We will not be installing
time unnecessarily because we're installing the correct version of time.
The installer will use ghc-pkg to hide the time 1.1.3 version that comes
with ghc-6.10.4 so that the correct version of the package will be used by
default.
Yes, we should do profiling libs by default.
There's a dilema with not-reinstalling which is that the platform
installer script cannot be used to recover a borked installation.
The `--with-blah` options are not connected to anything, but `./configure`
does not complain about unrecognised `--with-blah` options. We would
accept a patch to connect the `--with-blah` flags to the problematic FFI
packages. In general though we do not want to go down the route of making
subsets of the platform. It lessens its status as a standard set that
package authors can rely on.
