Everyone I've met (including the GHC team) pronounces it roughly the way I do, which
seems to be:
/h&skl-/
(using the IPA ASCII transcription at
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Evan_Kirshenbaum/IPA/english.html
)
That is, it is pretty close to `battle', but with `hask' (`a' like in `hat') instead
of `batt'.
Hope this helps.
