Ok, feel free to make the changes to the haskell portgroup then.
I also noticed you adding "depends_lib port:ghc" to many haskell ports. The
haskell portgroup already adds "depends_build port:ghc" but if depends_lib is
more appropriate, maybe that should be changed in the portgroup too.
You're probably one of the most qualified people to make changes to that
portgroup, since you know about haskell things, so feel free to make whatever
changes you feel are appropriate. The portgroups are there to factor common
code out of ports, so if you find you're repeating yourself in portfiles, it's
probably time to move the repetitive code to the portgroup.
