Yep you need the BuildRequires - I was talking about the Requires. :)
It works on F13 since ghc-6.12.1 "accidently" exposed its internal utf8-string.
If you are statically linking it probably doesn't matter much which one
you use, but all our libraries for ghc-6.12.x should now link against ghc-utf8-string.
Just thought it would make your life easier with keeping F13 and F14 in sync. :)
