The good news is that we plan to release a new version of Hat "real
soon now", which has full support for ghc-5.04.2, including many
of the base hierarchical libraries.  Thanks for the specific points
you mention however - I have checked to ensure that we have either
fixed them already, or will do so before the next release.

And the next release of Hat will indeed support MPTC and functional
dependencies (provided the underlying compiler does, i.e. they will
work with ghc but not with nhc98).
