      Library re-organisation:
      
      All libraries now live under ghc/lib, which has the following structure:
      
      	ghc/lib/std    		--  all prelude files 		(libHS.a)
      	ghc/lib/std/cbits
      
      	ghc/lib/exts		-- standard Hugs/GHC extensions (libHSexts.a)
      				-- available with '-fglasgow-exts'
      
      	ghc/lib/posix		-- POSIX library                (libHSposix.a)
      	ghc/lib/posix/cbits     -- available with '-syslib posix'
      
      	ghc/lib/misc		-- used to be hslibs/ghc	(libHSmisc.a)
      	ghc/lib/misc/cbits	-- available with '-syslib misc'
      
      	ghc/lib/concurrent	-- Concurrent libraries		(libHSconc.a)
      				-- available with '-concurrent'
      
      Also, several non-standard prelude modules had their names changed to begin
      with 'Prel' to reduce namespace pollution.
      
      	Addr      ==> PrelAddr     (Addr interface available in 'exts')
      	ArrBase   ==> PrelArr
      	CCall     ==> PrelCCall    (CCall interface available in 'exts')
      	ConcBase  ==> PrelConc
      	GHCerr    ==> PrelErr
      	Foreign   ==> PrelForeign  (Foreign interface available in 'exts')
      	GHC       ==> PrelGHC
      	IOHandle  ==> PrelHandle
      	IOBase    ==> PrelIOBase
      	GHCmain   ==> PrelMain
      	STBase    ==> PrelST
      	Unsafe    ==> PrelUnsafe
      	UnsafeST  ==> PrelUnsafeST
