+1. Use [hasktags](https://github.com/MarcWeber/hasktags) or similar program to generate TAGS file, so that you can go right to the definition of a function (from any module) using `M-.` in Emacs (see [here](emacs#using-tags-to-quickly-locate-definitions-in-a-project) for details).
 1. If you need to add or delete modules, use 'make boot' to fix up the dependencies.
