I'm surprised this works, unless you also change the imports of
Control.Exception to Control.OldException. The new exception module is
part of the reason it's taking me a while to port to 6.10.1. Nearly
there though; only the haddock failures to fix and then we can
release.

Don,

Thanks for the hint. I removed Setup.hs and tried "cabal build".  I
get an error that build type is custom and Setup.lhs is missing. What
is the magical incantation needed to do the default build?

Thanks

You can probably just remove the Setup.lhs and build with defaults
(we're doing that at galois, we use Takusen).
