oops;supposed to have been included with revert-back-to-__stginit-for-mingw commit

resetStaticObjectForRetainerProfiling(): warning wibble

Until the GHCi linker is made capable of handling .ctors sections in
PEi object files, stick with __stginits. Being a bit sloppy by
using 'mingw32_HOST_OS' to test for this.

Fix creation of raise_info closures: they're THUNKs

evacuate(): fix THUNK case

checkSanity: fix bug in nursery checking

SAVE_EVERYTHING: for some reason we used R10.w rather than R10 in this
macro, which just broke with the change to the C backend.

- Now that labels are always prefixed with '&' in .hc code, we have to
  fix some sloppiness in the RTS .cmm code.  Fortunately it's not too
  painful.

- SMP: acquire/release the storage manager lock around
  atomicModifyMutVar#.  This is a hack: atomicModifyMutVar# isn't
  atomic under SMP otherwise, but the SM lock is a large sledgehammer.
  I think I'll apply the sledgehammer to the MVar primitives too, for
  the time being.

rtsSupportsBoundThreads, isThreadBound: these should return rtsTrue
for SMP too.

pprLit: when printing a CLabel, prefix it with '&'.  This ensures we
get the address rather than the value, in the case when the C label
refers to a variable (as might be the case if it is from a foreign
import, for example).

Remove bogus cut-n-pasted comment

SMP: the rest of the changes to support safe thunk entry & updates.  I
thought the compiler changes were independent, but I ended up breaking
the HEAD, so I'll have to commit the rest.  non-SMP compilation should
not be affected.

Add a comment about possible improvement to the THUNK_SELECTOR
algorithm, from discussion with Ian Lynagh

Various fixes to ghcprof, from Christian Maeder <maeder@tzi.de>.  Thanks!

Fix hi-boot interface-finding code

SMP: thunks get an extra header word so that the payload doesn't
occupy the same space as the updated value.  This is the sum total of
the changes to compiler/, which are pleasingly few.

Allow args to be passed to GHC from runghc

  syntax: runghc [-f GHCPATH] [GHC-ARGS] FILE ARG...

ghcprof is a perl script, not a binary

Remove bogus code: the mutable list does not need to be rebuilt during
compaction.  It just needs to be updated, which is already happening.

(fixes crashes in compacting collection; I think a different fix is
required for STABLE, though)

Update to match ClosureTypes.h

remove gaps in the closure type sequence, and add a big warning comment

modInfoExports, TypecheckedSource and ParsedSource are exported.
Added modInfoPrintUnqualified function.

- DriverPipeline.compile: report errors in GHC_OPTIONS pragmas using the
  Message callback, and give them a proper line number.

- GHC.checkModule: read the GHC_OPTIONS pragma, and report errors
  appropriately.

main_thread double-linkage bug

In the event of a complete deadlock, we should handle the case when
the main thread is BlockedOnSTM (bug #1183455, the strange error
message only occurs on Windows because on Unix we end up waiting for
^C instead of deadlocking).

Turn off splitting on x86_64

Pass -ignore-dot-ghci to GHC

Now build.mk.sample does *nothing* by default

Haddock can't handle recursive modules currently, so we disable it for now.

Haddock fixes, "-- *" should be used with care...

Significant clean-up of the handling of hi-boot files. 
Previously, when compling A.hs, we loaded A.hi-boot, and
it went into the External Package Table.  It was strange
but it worked.  This tidy up stops it going anywhere;
it's just read in, and typechecked into a ModDetails.

All this was on the way to improving the handling of
instances in hs-boot files, something Chris Ryder wanted.
I think they work quite sensibly now.  

If I've got all this right (have not had a chance to
fully test it) we can merge it into STABLE.

Improve kind error msg; may make some tests change their output

Improve location info for kind errors; may make some tests change their output

And yesterday's "I messed up DocBook XML, too!" award goes to...

   *drum roll*

   ... Simon Peyton-Jones!

Congratulations! :-)

Rejig handling of environments in arrow notation: instead of the
proc_level stuff, we just record the environment of the proc, and
use that on the left side of -< and the head of (|...|).

This also makes the arrow1 test yield a compile error, as it should,
but the error message is uninformative.

back out Directory.hs:1.14 and directory.c:1.7; neither meant for HEAD

LIBRARY, GHCI_LIBRARY: permit settings of these to be overridden in Makefiles; Merge to STABLE

Update the CgCmmBranch (ghc directory) up to the HEAD ghc-6-4-branch-point

Be consistent about quotes in error messages; MERGE TO STABLE

Update comments on hslibs to make it clear that that they are (a) deprecated,
and (b) not required for building GHC.

	Merge to STABLE
