David, as you may have seen here:

I have a rough hack that works as a proof of conecpt.

First pass of that rough hack included compiling/linking with the package
ghc-6.12.1 so as to access these modules:

    Constants
    FastString
    Outputable
    PprBase
    Pretty
    Unique

which are being used in your current code in the GHC Darcs repo.

I have now done a second pass where, in about 200 lines of code, 
I hacked up minimal replacements for the above modules and no longer
need to link the ghc-6.12.1 package.

Currently my only modifications to your code are to comment out
a couple of #include lines.

This is working out well.

Cheers,
Erik
