I'm trying to make the 2.5 branch with GHC 7.0 RC1. This email is just to record progress so someone else can pick this up if they want to.

Here's what I've found/done so far:

- Distribution.ShellHarness uses the Permissions type from System.Directory, which has now become abstract. I've asked Ian (who made the change) about this, but I guess it'll require CPP as there's no window in which both APIs are available.

- dataenc 0.13.0.3 has dependencies that don't allow the latest base/containers. I've sent a patch to Magnus.

- test-framework-quickcheck2 doesn't build with the latest QuickCheck, but older QuickChecks don't compile with GHC 7.0. I haven't tried to fix this or contacted Max about it yet.

 - regex-posix causes a crash in GHC:
