Status update.

[Lemmih]

Hiya,

We have now reached a point where almost all the low hanging fruit is
gone. We've deleted a bunch of cruft, replaced a preprocessor with a
Cabal friendly alternative, and even made an optimization or two. All
these changes have been relatively simple and didn't require an
in-depth knowledge of LHC.

The next round of changes will hopefully be more substantial so we can
truly claim to be different from JHC.
The following changes are near future goals:
  * replace our built-in Haskell parser with haskell-src-exts.
  * return to pure grin ideals. All indirections must be removed.
  * write a grin garbage collector. I believe it's possible to write a
GC for grin that is agnostic about the target language (ISO C, in our
case).

Austin Seipp, I believe, is looking at the first item while I'm
tinkering with the latter two.
