Actually, that was a lie.  I certainly intended to test it on a
pre-release, but I don't think I ever actually got round to it.  Hence
the breakage.

This is also complete nonsense.  The issues were exactly as you
identified:

  * fixghc should erase any mention of -package util for ghc >= 6.5
  * module Readline is now called System.Console.Readline,
    and it lives in -package readline.

I have pushed a fix, and tested that it works on both ghc-6.4.1 and
ghc-6.6.
