Outstanding questions about packages in the Platform:

[ ] random is no longer part of GHC, but I'm assuming we will now have it
as part of the HP set
[ ] deepseq is supplied with GHC, but it was listed as an HP addition,
consider it part of the GHC distribution now?
[ ] haskell2000 wasn't listed in core.packages, but I'm assuming we
consider it an exposed part of the GHC distribution
[ ] Do we consider integer-gmp and/or integer-simple part of the platform?
it was listed in core.packages, but not the haskell-platform.cabal file
[ ] Verifying that the packages bin-package-db, binary, ghc-prim, and
hoopl, while supplied with GHC are not considered part of HP
[ ] Should we bumping alex to version 3?
[ ] mtl will need MonadCatchIO-mtl-0.3.0.4 - do we make that part of the
platform?
[ ] updating OpenGL and GLUT to recent versions will require including
packages: ObjectName, OpenGLRaw, GLURaw, StateVar, and Tensor. How do we
want to proceed?

Thoughts?
