why do you think separate compilation is difficult to achieve in Haskell 98? as simon pointed out, GHC does it and has been doing it for a long time. dealing with mutually recusrive modules is i think a separate issue. even though GHC doesn't quite do it, it is certainly possible, and not very difficult to do. in fact we have it implemented in one of the projects i am currently working on. hopefully one day GHC will also dispense with the hi-boot files.
