Check the version of the installed ghc, and set GhcVersion,
GhcMajVersion, GhcMinVersion and GhcPatchLevel make variables.

Add test for GNU regex in libc, which we'll use to decide whether to
compile our own copy of the library in package text.

Quick workaround for Reuben's M$ configuration problems

autoconf hackery for CTypes{,ISO}

The DocBook saga continues: Look for already installed catalog first.

Autoconf magic to determine a working DocBook CATALOG file (if any).  Makes
the makefile variable DOCBOOK_CATALOG refer to this CATALOG file (absolute
path).

Add JadeCmd to find path of jade.

Changed Perl test so that it simply allows vv5 & 6 and disallows any other;
also hardwire path to perl to /bin/perl under Windows, to avoid clashing with
other weird Perls that may be on the path.

/tmp/msg

added autoconf magic for integral limits

Added FIND as a symbol so that it can be changed on OSes which have
different ideas as to what "find" should do.

remove duplicate signal type test.

add -ltermcap when looking for -lreadline.

From: Michael Weber.

Sven's first autoheader commandment: Don't change config.h.in manually...!
(Why is mk/config.h.in in the repository? configure is not, either.)

Added more SIZEOF/ALIGNMENT tests

urk, Solaris sh doesn't understand [^0-9] in patterns, it seems.

Added autoconf magic for size/alignment of some more C types

- FreeBSD 3+ is now known as i386-unknown-freebsd (to accomodate
  forthcoming FreeBSD 4.X

-  add alpha-unknown-{linux,freebsd}

Automatically detect installed copies of ghc, nhc and hbc and plug
them into the Makefile variables $(GHC), $(NHC) and $(HBC)
respectively.  $(HC) is now supposed to be a generic installed haskell
compiler, which defaults to $(GHC) and can be changed via ./configure
--with-hc=<blah>.

Reorganise and tidy up a few things in config.mk.in.

Package local configuration scripts allow to modularise the configuration (we
start by having one for ghc):
* Modularised configuration avoids unnecessary dependencies for individual
  packages.
* Furthermore, package local configuration (such as entering version
  information into rpm .spec files) is possible.

Make <readline/history.h> a requirement for use of libreadline.

Pass flag -ltermcap as link option for test -lreadline.

Add checks for readline library (as opposed to headers).

Add a test for libreadline.{a|so}  (include/readline/readline.h
is already tested for.).

--with-ghc-hc is now --with-hc (to be used as the "locally installed
Haskell compiler" for all projects).

Don't attempt to discover the exact location of cpp, instead use 'gcc
-E'.  With the right combination of flags, it seems we can get the
same behaviour as calling cpp directly.

Check for presence of winsock.h

New option: --enable-win32-dlls

Added `timezone' config test.

Prepared to support i?86-*-mingw32

Move 4.01 onto the main trunk.

Emit soothing msg to counter the (harmless) autoconf warning that is output while processing AC_C_BIGENDIAN

Added f-checks for symlink() and readlink()

Added tests required by Hugs

Default WithGhcHc is now just "ghc".  Too many people complained.

Add support for FreeBSD 3.0 (ELFish).
Rename i386-unknown-freebsd to i386-unknown-freebsd2, and add
i386-unknown-freebsd3.

NOTE: this won't bootstrap an ELF GHC using an a.out GHC, some laying
on of hands is required for that.

added use of FPTOOLS_CODE_BEFORE_DATA, FPTOOLS_END_DATA_SECTION, FPTOOLS_END_TEXT_SECTION

Tidied up a bit + added --with-ghc-hc option

Doc string for --enable-hc-boot was lacking; added --with-gcc cmd line option

check for netinet/tcp.h (apparently needed for some socket options on
FreeBSD).
