Cool! I've often thought of doing this, but haven't done it as I don't
write much GUI apps any more.

So haste lives again, nice to hear! :D

I'm sure that much of the functionality is missing, we took some few
things we needed to get haste started. The rest is not yet done.

Indeed the repo and homepage is lost since a long time, but I was able
to find the old development code on my laptop! I don't know what differs
from the last released version and my version. We haven't touched it
since the day of the deadline of this university project.
I've put it online:
http://haskell.org/~kolmodin/code/haste/
It includes everything I had when working on wxSTC/haste, including
university paper, silly tests, temporary files and whatnot. It even
includes the homepage! :)

CompileSTC couldn't parse the original file back then either. We had to
manually remove parts from stc.h that our naive parser couldn't handle.
A really ugly hack :)

I belive that there was more things we couldn't parse, but I'm not sure
any more. If I'd done it again today I might had "borrowed" the parser
from c2hs and done it properly.
