Merge before-ghci -> before-ghci-branch-merged in the non-ghc parts of
the tree.

Updated to reflect reality and be a bit more helpful.

build the rts *after* the compiler

Change the way source distributions are built.

Now we do a 'make boot', 'make distclean', build a link tree to filter
some files out (eg. .cvsignore), and finally tar up the result.  The
process isn't bulletproof, so it makes sense to compare the manifest
against previous versions.

Now you don't have to be in a linked build tree to make a source
distribution.

.depend should be in DIST_CLEAN, not MAINTAINER_CLEAN

sgmlverb.c is in maintainer-clean

config.status should be in distclean

Remove FunDeps hi-boot files

Remove SpecEnv.hi-boot-5; hasnt been used for ages

enhance the clean target for doc subdirs

clean more files: %.s for each %.hs/%.lhs, *_stub.{c,h}, *.raw_s.

Dealing with instance-decl imports; and removing unnecessary imports

More renamer... not in a working state I fear

clean up Parser.info in MAINTAINER_CLEAN.

"make clean" fixes

"make clean" fixes

Remove unused files.

maintainer-clean should include distclean.

"make clean" in here now works as advertised.

Finally get CompManager to compile.  Also rm some redundant imports.

stgSyn/StgInterp_HC_OPTS ---> ghci/StgInterp_HC_OPTS

don't generate heimdall.summary unless -heimdall is on.

Prepend "./" to the command to run only if the file exists in the
current directory, rather than based on whether the command begins
with a ''/'.  This means that 'make HC=ghc-4.08.1' in ghc/tests works
as expected.

remind me that -nohi doesn't do anything

remind me what this test does

Found a better way to do the arch test for $(GhcWithInterpreter), used
it for $(GhcWithNativeCodeGen) too and removed one $(shell...).

Cleaning up the configuration/build process.

  - New build.mk option: GhcWithInterpreter. It has reasonable
    defaults, and shouldn't need to be overriden (you get the interpreter
    if you're bootstrapping with ghc 4.09+ on an ELF architecture, at
    the moment).

  - compilation manager now lives in compiler/compMan.  compiler/ghci
    contains only interpreter-related files.

  - WithGhcHc has gone, it now defaults to $(GHC).  This is so that
    we can reliably determine the version of $(GHC) using the stuff that
    configure tells us.  configure gets a new --with-ghc option so you
    can specify which ghc to use.

Most, but not all changes needed to get CompManager to compile.

Remove GhcWithRegisterised since it isn't used.  It might be
re-instated later if/when we decide on the right way to implement it.

Omitted do-nothing case in SimplCore

More renamer commits

Versioning now works properly I think.

The main irritation is that interface files now have fuly-qualified names for
*everything*, even things defined in that module.  This is a deficiency in
the pretty printing for interface files.  Probable solution: add something
to the SDoc styles.  But not today.

Add the GLADE config for the front panel, tweak a few things.

Add a basic "front panel" for GHC-compiled programs.

How to use it:

	- re-autoconf & configure to detect GTK+

	- add "GhcRtsWithFrontPanel = YES" to mk/build.mk

	- rebuild the RTS

	- compile up a program, add `gtk-config --libs` to the
	  link command line

	- run with program with +RTS -f,

	- sit back & watch the show :-)  Programs with lots of
	  heap-resident data are the most interesting.  For extra
	  kicks, turn up the number of generations & steps like so:
	  +RTS -f -G5 -T3.

	- Bootstrap your compiler, and see in glorious technicolor
	  just how much of a lumbering beast GHC really is.

This is a work in progress.  There's lots more stuff we could display
on the panel: suggestions/comments are of course welcome.  The window
layout was designed with GLADE, I'll commit the config file shortly.

I haven't quite figured out how we're going to integrate this with the
release yet (ie. whether we'll distribute two separate RTS's or what).

PrelBase compiles!

* Stop pipeline when recompilation not needed.
* Check OPTIONS pragmas for non-dynamic flags.
* Misc wibbles.

Improve MkIface; get ready for NameEnv.lhs
