As most people already know, we're beavering away on creating a merged
Hugs-GHC system which will include the Hugs 1.3c type system, the Hugs
1.4 goodies, the new Hugs-GHC runtime system and the GHC 4.xx libraries.

Since I'm moving to Utah at the end of November (see my homepage for details),
I'm working flat out to have it done before I leave.  So far we have
the 1.3c typesystem and the Hugs-GHC runtime working reliably.
Greencard+h/direct support is making gradual progress; loading
GHC-compiled binaries is almost working but needs some GHC modifications
to complete; loading a GHC-compiled prelude and standard libraries
is going to be the big challenge.

So I guess the answer is that the new system will be ready by Dec 1st.
