Update Haskeline
GHC 6.10.3 switched from readline/editline to Haskeline as the command-line editor in ghci. Unfortunately, this lost a lot of the vi-mode editing functionality, as the version of Haskeline ghci uses had very limited support for vi mode.
This support has been improving quickly in Haskeline's trunk, thanks to vi-mode users using the release and submitting bug reports. When the next version of GHC is released, a new release of Haskeline with all of these updates should be cut, and incorporated into GHC.
