+# Special note for devs looking to upgrade this package:
+#   ghc places a unique hash for each library when it is built.
+#   Libraries depend on versions specified by those hashes.
+#   This implies that all libraries need to be rebuilt when ghc is rebuilt.
+#   Also, due to dependency loop problems, haskell-ghc-paths and haddock
+#   do not carry version dependencies. You will have to remember to build them too.
