Replying to [comment:7 duncan]:
> I know we've made changes to ghc-pkg in the HEAD branch. I'd still very
much like to see a simple dump feature included in ghc-pkg in time for
ghc-6.8.3.

> As I say, I think we want this on the 6.8.3 timescale, rather than
having to wait for 6.10. If this 'bulk' feature is going to go in for
6.8.3 then fine, otherwise I suggest the simple 'dump' command that I
suggested originally.
we had some more discussion in early december, and i sent my final version
of the patch to cvs-ghc on 03/12/,
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-ghc/2007-December/040020.html
simon has since confirmed that the patch looks fine, but could do with
some refinements of configuration, for mingw location detection, and
perhaps without the provision for restoring globbing.

as i said in december, i leave those tweaks and decisions to the folks at
ghc hq - as far as myself and functionality were concerned, the patch is
done!-) there shouldn't be any need for a separate dump feature to get
something soon.
