Hi, GHC hackers and interested parties-- I believe the External Core front-end, as well as the stand-alone parser and typechecker, are working in the GHC HEAD (as of today). There are a few minor bugs documented in the README file in utils/ext-core.
The documentation is also up-to-date, and lives under docs/ext-core in the darcs repo (I haven't looked into updating the version on haskell.org yet.) The interpreter is not working yet. Please note that here I'm only referring to the ability to have GHC print out Core with -fext-core, and parse/typecheck it using external tools (such as those in the GHC distribution). GHC still *cannot* read External Core back in. I would appreciate it if anyone who was still interested would grab the HEAD, try to play around with the Core tools, and report any bugs (on this mailing list if you're not sure if it's a bug, and on Trac if you're sure).
