Correction to the construction of .hi filenames in dependency
generation.

Fixes sourceforge bug #978543

Merge to STABLE

Tiny perf improvement

Add FAQ item: how to compile a program with and without profiling in
the same directory.

Remove "EXOTICA" from the description of -osuf/-hisuf

arrow notation fixes (problems reported bu John Hughes):

* allow an infixexp (exp0) to the left of -<.  This adds 4 more
  shift/reduce conflicts, because it makes if/lambda/let/case/proc
  before -< ambiguous.  This is the same sort of thing as
  "if x then y else z + 1", and as there shifting does the right thing.

* described the grammar more precisely

* fixed an example

merge to STABLE

rearrange documentation of SPECIALIZE.

Typo about TH

Clarify words about the -package flag

-----------------------------------------------
       Improve reporting of TH reify out-of-scope errors
	-----------------------------------------------

No change to functionality, just better error reports.

Improve pretty printing slightly

Renamed Opt_WarnMisc to Opt_WarnDodgyImports

Have loadObj ignore requests to load an object more than once, instead
of actually loading the object, then dying.

This change lets user-land loaders safely work inside GHCi, when they
would have no way to know what packages had already been loaded.

Help from SimonM and Andre Pang.

Mention the splitter in the section on porting.

Add linker symbols into linker symbol table.
This lets things that bind to the linker run in GHCi.
Tested on OSX and OpenBSD.

Thanks to Andre Pang.

Tell the linker that we barf in lockFile now. Nuked an evil $Id$ on the way.

Synched "Overflown relocation field" message with reality

Oops, accidentally deleted this.  Reinstate.

Remove hsc2hs files prior to re-grafting the entire directory.

Move Makefiles for nhc98's build here, prior to grafting the directory.

* Fixed ANNOUNCE, LICENSE and README handling
* Made binaries explicit
* Small reformatting

Added empty "install" and "install-docs" targets

* Moved snapshot handling to configure.ac (well, sort of...)
* Updated Requires and BuildRequires
* Synched documentation building/packaging with reality

Advance HEAD version to 6.3.

Added empty "all" and "boot" targets

"make dvi ps html" in $(TOP) builds *all* documentation now

* Added list of current committers
* Slight change of description

More rpm spec file cleanup, including:
* added some BuildRequires
* changed packager to me, so people can complain at the right place :-]
* consistently refer to haskell.org instead of www.haskell.org

ffi-art is dead, Jim...

ANSIfication (from Ralf Wildenhues)

Extremely strange: Some backend emit an ugly trailing ">" when "xref" is an
empty element, but none when only a start tag is used. *sigh* So let's revert
this part of the changes for now...

* Fixed some "screen" vs. "programlisting"

* Don't use leading spaces in verbatim elements just for formatting purposes

* Be extremely cautious with whitespace in verbatim elements to avoid strange
  empty leading/trailing lines. More investigation needed what's really going on
  here, this shouldn't be necessary...

Make the Building Guide almost valid DocBook XML V4.2 (to get the real thing,
simply add an XML prolog and change "artheader" to "articleinfo"). Things that
had to be changed:

 * XML tags are case-sensitive, so lowercase must be used for tags/attributes

 * Make "xref" an empty element.

 * "constant" is not allowed within "filename"

 * Move "indexterm" to a valid place.

 * Change some "&" to "&"

 * The "_" character in titles makes some trouble in the TeX backend => avoid it

-----------------------------------------------
       Record whether data constructors are declared infix
	-----------------------------------------------

This allows us to generate the InfixC form in Template Hasekll.
And for 'deriving' Read and Show, we now read and parse the infix
form iff the constructor was declared infix, rather than just if
it does not have the default fixity (as before).

IfaceSyn changes slightly, so that IfaceConDecl can record their
fixity, so there are trivial changes scattered about, and
you'll need to recompile everything.

In TysWiredIn I took the opportunity to simplify pcDataCon slightly,
by eliminating the unused Theta argument.

-------------------------------
	Fix a grevious bug in DsMeta
	which caused a seg fault
	-------------------------------

The bug was an incorrectly declared type for one of the Template
Haskell construction functions in DsMeta (repRecCon, repRecUpd)
and some associated jiggery pokery.

-dcore-lint showed it up nicely, because the desugarer generated
ill-typed code.

DsMeta PrelNames TH.Lib

Comments only

Add missing functions to TH export list (mostly spotted by Duncan Coutts).

Update TH test output.

Add TH support for patterns with type signatures, and test for same
(requested by Isaac Jones).

Add TH support for pattern guards, and tests for same
(requested by Isaac Jones).

Add infix patterns to TH datatypes.

Added Lift instances for 2- to 7-tuples (requested by Duncan Coutts).

Change the 'can't load package' message from a panic to an ordinary
error.

Remove part of previous patch which was for debugging only.

Fix a nasty bug: when saving errno in the TSO after running a thread,
beware that the TSO might have moved, e.g. if the thread made a safe
foreign call in the threaded RTS and a GC happened.

We have to grab the new location of the TSO *before* saving errno.

MERGE TO STABLE

This was the most interesting bug hunt I've had in a while.  The crash
only showed up in about 1 in 4 runs of a program with 1000 Haskell
threads, running on the threaded RTS.  To make things worse, gdb
doesn't support watchpoints in programs with multiple threads... :-/

Make getAllocations() return an Int64 to avoid Int overflow.
