To accomodate this each source file is preprocessed for the first two targets.
When compiling with GHC and standard libraries the strings `--X` and `--W` are removed from the source file.
When compiling with GHC and MicroHs libraries the strings `--Y` and `--W` are removed from the source file.
-This way anything special needed with GHC is just treated as comments by mhs.

Compiling MicroHs is really best done using `make`, but there is also a `MicroHs.cabal` file

+Also note that there is no need to have a Haskell compiler to run MicroHs.
+All you need is a C compiler, and MicroHs can bootstrap, given the included combinator file (`comb/mhs.comb`).
## Language
The language is a subset of Haskell. There is only simple Hindley-Milner polymorphism,
