I just tested "cabal install --user yi yi-vty" on a near-fresh GHC
6.10.1 installation and it installed without problems.

Does this effect being able to use template haskell or quasi quotes? I
vaguely recall there was a bytestring issue that prevented the use of
template haskell. As for quasi quotes, well, I think there are a
number of places quasi quotes would be useful.

I presume this is referring a version of vty that uses
terminfo/termcap for all input classification? Instead of the part
custom, part terminfo based classification table.
Speaking of vty: I've uploaded 3.1.6 to hackage which has fixes to
build with GHC 6.10.1. However this release does not build with GHC
6.8; 3.1.2 is the last release that does. I'm not sure how this will
effect yi's userbase (A bit of shortsightedness on my part) but I
intend to resolve that problem in the next release of vty.

The things I've been thinking of working on are:
 * More internal documentation of yi.
 * modeline support
 * Improved Perl and C/C++ lexer.
