Hi,

as the subject says, I'd like to remove hs-snap and additional ports
only used by it, especially  hs-attoparsec-enumerator (and hs-asn1-data,
hs-certificate, hs-tls and other ports in that chain of dependencies).

It's in the way of an update of textproc/hs-attoparsec, which is
necessary to make a port of pandoc (http://pandoc.org/) possible.
Last year, ian@ sent some initial diffs and new ports for a starter,
but i was kind of showstopper because of the haskell-platform (which
i really regret today).

So, IMHO it's better to drop frameworks like hs-snap and dependencies
(the haskell way to use those frameworks is to just use cabal-install)
in favor of ready-to-use tools like darcs, xmonad, or (hopefully
soon) pandoc.

If there are no strong complaints, I'll remove whatever isn't needed
for end-user tools and is in the way of updating hs-attoparsec to
a version required for porting pandoc.

Ciao,
        Kili
