Noteworthy,

Interesting. I can't find out any information about this...
It is a fork of the JHC compiler, which should be easier to look
up. There is also Hugs, as you mentioned. In addition, you may want
to look at YHC and NHC.
Yeah, the "implementations" page on the Wiki basically says that
there's GHC and Hugs, and there's also these things called YHC, NHC
and JHC. All the documentation I've read makes these latter
compilers sound highly experimental and unusable. (I don't recall
specifically which of them, but I remember hearing it can't even
compile the Prelude yet.) They seem like small projects which are
probably interesting to hack with, but not much use if you're trying
to produce production-grade compiled code to give to a customer...
OTOH, I haven't ever attempted to *use* any of these compilers. I
only read about them...
Don't forget hbc.
There's plenty of information about all the compilers in the history
of haskell paper, including a timeline:
