Is this project dead?

[Benedikt Huber]

Hello!

Danny, you are right, the version on Hackage was missing a few bug 
fixes. I've uploaded a more recent version now (0.4.3).

In general, there is no active development going on and there are very 
few bug reports, so maintenance itself is not that much of an issue. It 
would be great if there were new contributions to language-c - in 
addition to the support for Apple extensions and improvements in the 
semantic analysis that Aaron mentionened, proper support for non-ASCII 
source files is still missing. Patches are always welcome :)

I would not mind if a different language-c developer (Aaron?) wants to 
take over maintenance, as I do not plan to spend a lot of time on this 
activity.  But it should be someone who is familiar with the source and 
able to fix bugs if necessary.

cheers, benedikt
