added use of FPTOOLS_CODE_BEFORE_DATA, FPTOOLS_END_DATA_SECTION, FPTOOLS_END_TEXT_SECTION

Added feature tests for etext and end plus text vs. data section placement in executable

merged from HEAD

disable posix subdir, one of the tests hangs on Linux.

quick fix for multi-file sgml docs.

Some Numeric lib tests

remove socket, these tests don't seem to be suitable for
non-interactive use.

In an interface file, don't allow data and newtype decls to have deriving clauses (not needed.)

add #ifndef __PARALLEL_HASKELL__ around ForeignObj bits.

fix typo

Bomb out if we encounter a _ccall_GC_; can't handle it.

Did I say first argument in the previous commit msg, I meant
first component of the result tuple :-)

collectArgs: return function expr. as first argument, not the whole
expression.

floatToDigits bugfix

Surplus to requirements (cf. last IO commit)

Spell out which IO functions the Prelude provides

[non-standard]:
  Have IO also export the standard IO functions that only
  the Prelude (in 1.4) provides.

* Added (compile-time conditional) experimental change of
  making ReadS return a Maybe value instead of a list of
  possible parses.

* Reworked to use do notation instead of list/monad comprehension
  syntax. (this makes switching between different ReadS representation
  a great deal easier.)

  This change relies on Haskell-1.4's failure-free patterns to work.

FilePath moved from PrelHandle to PrelIOBase

wibble

minor fix to get source dists working.

expand slightly.

Removed mention of shiftRA# (the primop has been deleted.)

Import list adjustments

Fixed prob with building Readline stubs.

dumpRealC: Don't drag around cost argument if we're not GranSim'ing (cf. new-rts fix)

SUBDIRS: descend into 'misc' before 'posix'

Moved PosixUtil marshaling funs into CString; adjusted imports; don't use lit-lits containing NULL when we've got Addr.nullAddr

Import list updates

Adjusted some imports; dropped PackedString dependency in favour of CString

Moved Util.unvectorize to a more appropriate home (CString)

Removed:
	psToByteArrayST,
 	packCString#,
 	unpackCString#,
 	unpackCString2#,
 	unpackAppendCString#,
 	unpackFoldrCString#,
 	unpackCString,
 	unpackCStringIO,
 	unpackCStringLenIO

Added:
	hGetPS

* This module contained a little bit of everything. Moved
  functions for marshalling to/from C strings into a separate module.

* Reuse PrelPack code.

New module containing misc functions for going to/from C strings/sequences

New functions:
  hFillBuf   :: Handle -> Addr -> Int -> IO Int
  hFillBufBA :: Handle -> ByteArray Int -> Int -> IO Int

 reading a sequence of a bytes into a chunk of memory.

[Semi-experimental]
ENTER_CC_PAP: tick the entry count of a PAP's CC when entering it.

Since we're unable to deal with seq'ing over function values, comment out the Eval instance for (->)

readChunk:
  last commit may have fixed a bug in the handling of incomplete reads,
  but at the cost of breaking the (common) case of complete
  reads :-/. Should work better in both cases now.

Added seqZh comment on why it shouldn't be used on partially applied values

add_syslib: turn off -syslib loop checking

Add test for various list functions.
