The hat-2.02 package is quite old now and does not build cleanly
with ghc >= 6.0.  All the problems are already fixed in CVS, and we
do hope to release an updated package in the mid-term future, but in
the meantime, we recommend that ghc-6.x users use our anonymous CVS
repository to get a working version of Hat.
