+GHC 7.8.3 Haiku Binary Distribution
+-----------------------------------
+
+This is a pre-built binary distribution of GHC 7.8.3 for
+x86 Haiku builds (should work with both gcc2h and gcc4 builds).
+
+Building GHC requires a pre-existing GHC, so this installation
+can be used for bootstrapping a new GHC build.
+
+Patches
+-------
+
+- network.patch is a patch for the cabal package `network`
+- haiku-fixes.patch contains a number of Haiku specific fixes,
+  as well as some customisation to install paths to be more
+  inline with the standard Haiku folder layout
+
+Some of these fixes need to be reworked to be more maintainable,
+so that they can be upstreamed to GHC proper.
