  Thanks so much. Nix really looks like the best available tool
  for managing GHC installations; I ended up setting up a Gentoo
  machine just so I could have a managed install of 6.12 but now
  that I know about this I can use 6.12 on Ubuntu, CentOS, Macs
  and so on without introducing unmanaged cruft that I'll just
  have to clean up next year.
