The main change recently was to remove the use of '!' instead of '.' to
indicate that a particular identifier should be snaffled from anohter
.hi-boot file instead of an .hi file. The compiler now figures this out for
itself. So, just change any plings to dots and you should be ok.
BTW, there's an "interface file version number" which is currently at 5.
You can make your .hi-boot files version specific by calling them .hi-boot-5
or whatever. We use this trick in the compiler so we can stay compatible
with ghc 3.02.
Cheers,
Simon
