This is the root directory for functional-programming tools
distributed by the Computing Science Department at Glasgow University.
Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@microsoft.com> is the ringleader of this
effort. The tools are:
ghc the Glasgow Haskell compilation system
hslibs collection of Haskell libraries
haggis the Haggis GUI toolkit
happy the Happy Haskell parser generator
hdirect Haskell interop tool
green-card a foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell.
nofib the NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
literate the Glasgow "literate programming" system
glafp-utils shared utility programs
mk GNU make setup used by all of fptools
docs documentation on the installing and using
the fptools suite.
Components which are always part of a distribution (never stand-alone)
are "glafp-utils" and "mk" (a configuration system).
Quick start: the following is *supposed* to work
$ ./configure
$ make boot
$ make
$ make install
where 'make' is whatever GNU make is called on your system. The
configuration script is a standard GNU autoconf script which accepts
all the normal arguments, eg. --prefix=<blah> to install the package
somewhere other than /usr/local. Try ./configure --help to get a full
list of the options.
There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution. Please
consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.

Time the shutdown code as well as the initialisation code. This figure is sometimes significant for SMP, because the tasks are all killed by a signal (at the moment) and it might take a while for the signal to be delivered.
