wip/hs-vector-bytestring 0.0.0.1nb1 NetBSD

A time and space-efficient implementation of byte vectors using vectors of Word8, suitable for high performance use, both in terms of large data quantities, or high speed requirements. Byte vectors are encoded as strict Word8 arrays of bytes, held in a ForeignPtr, and can be passed between C and Haskell with little effort.

Original GHC implementation by Bryan O'Sullivan. Rewritten to use Data.Array.Unboxed.UArray by Simon Marlow. Rewritten to support slices and use ForeignPtr by David Roundy. Polished and extended by Don Stewart. Redefined ByteString as a Vector (from the vector package) of Word8s by Bas van Dijk.
