Actually, GHC HEAD should spit out External Core already. Ian just applied my earlier patch that fixed the parser and pretty-printer. The bit I'm still working on is fitting the output of the parser into the typechecker. I don't plan on changing the concrete syntax unless I find that it's broken in some way.

Ext-core is not a library; spitting it out and sucking it in is an integral part of GHC.

That said, I think there may be a library for processing the ext- core code itself (parsing, typechecking etc). I don't think Aaron is working on that.

Also, what you need for your PhD is the spitting-out part, right? You want GHC to generate ext-core for your verifier to read in? That's the relatively easier part, and Aaron might have that working sooner, especially if you ask him to prioritise it.
