Making the library compile with GHC 7.7 and base 4.7

[co-dan]

Functor instances for ArgDescr and OptDescr are now defined in base 4.7

[23Skidoo]

You should have used the MIN_VERSION_base macro to make the code compatible with base < 4.7:

#if !MIN_VERSION_base(4,7,0)
instance Functor OptDescr...
#endif

@23Skidoo Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense, I don't know why I ditched the instances completely.

Thanks.

Could you please release a new version of the library that contains this patch? Many of my attempts to compile software with GHC 7.7 fail because of that issue http://hydra.cryp.to/build/8647/nixlog/1/raw.

@peti Max (@batterseapower) seems to be ignoring this issue tracker. I've sent him an email.

I've forked the repo to haskell/test-framework and fixed this bug there.

@bos Great. I've tried to reach the author by e-mail, but he didn't respond.

Nice to hear that!
I've also heard that test-framework is abandoned and that's why Roman
Cheplyaka has created tasty
