Intend to package: GHC (glasgow haskell compiler).

[Rui Zhu <zhurui@cs.tu-berlin.de>]

Hello, all,

I'm happy to express my wish to package GHC.  I'm just doing it now
and will soon send my application to become a Debian maintainer.

I've contact GHC developer for licence issue again and now got answers
from them (see below).  Exact one will be later posted in haskell
mailing list.  OK, hold our breath.

Cheers,
	Rui

We are hoping to offer a BSD-style license (minus the advertising clause)
shortly, but I need the agreement of the University of Glasgow
to do this. I hope to have that agreement soon, but I can't predict
exactly when.

I'll broadcast to the Haskell mailing list when this gets sorted
out.

Simon
