| Pugs.hs is back                                                    |

(The excellent news from fglock++ that [0]v6.pm is back prompted me to
write something about Pugs, too, so here it is.)

During the past month, I've been quietly releasing Pugs and its
dependencies on [1]Hackage.

Installation for Pugs is now much simpler than before; see
[2]http://svn.pugscode.org/pugs/INSTALL for details.

There has been no action in terms of features, but the internal has been
refactored to reduce compilation time, and the individual components has
been released as [3]separate packages to reduce maintenance overhead.

Startup time is also greatly improved. As a consequence, running the
[4]full smoke test suite is no longer a multi-hour-long ordeal; it now
takes less than 15 minutes on modern machines.

As of the 6.2.13.11 release, the smoke numbers say it passes 17215 tests
out of 19260, which is not significantly different from the 6.2.13
release.

Going forward, I think GHC 6.10's [5]Quasiquoting and [6]View patterns
are going to be vital for the sanity of Pugs internals, so please expect
no Pugs 6.28.* releases before GHC 6.10.1.

And finally, a shameless plug: I'm still looking for ways to make ends
meet, so any [7]offers of telecommuting, project-based/part-time jobs
would be very much appreciated. :-)
