- the package DB is a directory containing one file per package
   instance (#723)

 - there is a binary cache of the database (#593, #2089)

 - the binary package is now a boot package

 - there is a new package, bin-package-db, containing the Binary
   instance of InstalledPackageInfo for the binary cache.

Also included in this patch

 - Use colour in 'ghc-pkg list' to indicate broken or hidden packages
  
   Broken packages are red, hidden packages are 
  
   Colour support comes from the terminfo package, and is only used when
    - not --simple-output
    - stdout is a TTY
    - the terminal type has colour capability

 - Fix the bug that 'ghc-pkg list --user' shows everything as broken

Now, adding dyn to $(GhcLibWays) is how shared libs are enabled.
Everything else keys off that, rather than testing
$(BuildSharedLibs).

and fix up related cruft

  - tracing facilities are now enabled with -DTRACING, and -DDEBUG
    additionally enables debug-tracing.  -DEVENTLOG has been
    removed.

  - -debug now implies -eventlog

  - events can be printed to stderr instead of being sent to the
    binary .eventlog file by adding +RTS -v (which is implied by the
    +RTS -Dx options).

  - -Dx debug messages can be sent to the binary .eventlog file
    by adding +RTS -l.  This should help debugging by reducing
    the impact of debug tracing on execution time.

  - Various debug messages that duplicated the information in events
    have been removed.

Should help to fix the build on OpenBSD (together with a corresponding
patch to libraries/base).

Fixes this failure in the unreigsterised build:
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSrts_thr

This checks that hackage would accept the packages.
Currently warnings are printed, but don't result in failure.

 * use --nonet, so xmllint and co don't go off trying to download
   stuff from the web

 * use the http:// reference for the stylesheet, so we don't have to
   search the filesystem for it (should speedup ./configure)

Now configure looks for it as an installed program instead.

Now we have variables for whether or not to build the docbook docs as
HTML, as PS, and as PDF. The configure script output now matches what
the build system will do (except it cannot take account of any
mk/build.mk settings, of course).

Generate binary log files from the RTS containing a log of runtime
events with timestamps.  The log file can be visualised in various
ways, for investigating runtime behaviour and debugging performance
problems.  See for example the forthcoming ThreadScope viewer.

New GHC option:

  -eventlog   (link-time option) Enables event logging.

  +RTS -l     (runtime option) Generates <prog>.eventlog with
              the binary event information.

This replaces some of the tracing machinery we already had in the RTS:
e.g. +RTS -vg  for GC tracing (we should do this using the new event
logging instead).

Event logging has almost no runtime cost when it isn't enabled, though
in the future we might add more fine-grained events and this might
change; hence having a link-time option and compiling a separate
version of the RTS for event logging.  There's a small runtime cost
for enabling event-logging, for most programs it shouldn't make much
difference.

(Todo: docs)

Now ghc --info reports whether-split-objs is supported, rather than
whether the libraries were built using -split-objs.

If you manually set HSCOLOUR_SRCS=YES then the build will fail if
HsColour wasn't found.

On Windows, we end up doing something like
    rsync c:/build/ghc-6.10.1-unknown-mingw32.tar.bz2 haskell.org:dist
and it thinks that it is meant to get the file from the host called "c".
Now we just do
    rsync ghc-6.10.1-unknown-mingw32.tar.bz2 haskell.org:dist
so rsync understand what we mean.
