Without commenting on the specific idea you suggested, I can say a bit
more about the GSoC process. Yes there is lots of competition, but the
most important qualities mentors will be looking for are (a) engagement
with the community, and (b) interesting project ideas. The latter are
very much improved by the former. That is, if you propose a project
idea, then refine and improve it with the help of the community (well in
advance of the deadline for applications), then you stand a much better
chance of being accepted.
Now, as to the specific goal of making GHC more portable - I would
certainly be interested in being able to bootstrap GHC using only nhc98.
But perhaps I am in a minority of one. :-)

Malcolm
