Coming back to Haskell after experimenting with F# for a while.  Did a complete reinstall of my haskell environment.  Decided to use Haskell platform after all, version 2012.4.0.0.  This comes with older versions of some packages, so I will likely need to make code updates to bring the code back into a good state.  I tried to build and needed to install a number of packages that HP doesn't include, which I did.  Now I have my first build error because runGetWithFail from the binary package is not in scope.
Made code updates to work with Haskell Platform and new libraries downloaded after wipe.  Compiles and runs tests as it did before.  Not sure about memory usage.
Successfully installed Ji and can use it as a GUI!  I have JQuery animating the shared stash text as well.
Used the Codec-Image-DevIL library to help write ALL item icons to disk as PNG.  Huge result.
