Great news! I'm very interested in shared libraries (I opened the request for this, after all!) - but what is the reason for making this the default for ghcHEAD? Will haskellPackages_ghc78whatever also have shared libraries, or are you using this as a testing ground? Thanks for working on this though, I'll be upgrading as soon as I find the time :) - ocharles
