Windows wibbles

A start on the GHC API:

Flesh out the GHC module so that it can replace CompManager.  Now, the
clients that used CompManager consume the GHC API instead (namely
Main, DriverMkDepend, and InteractiveUI).  Main is significantly
cleaner as a result.

The interface needs more work: in particular, getInfo returns results
in the form of IfaceDecls but we want to use full HsSyn and
Id/DataCon/Class across the boundary instead.

The interfaces for inspecting loaded modules are not yet implemented.

Update the -fno-cse flags

Complete the transition of -split-objs into a dynamic flag (looks like I
half-finished it in the last commit).

Also: complete the transition of -tmpdir into a dynamic flag, which
involves some rearrangement of code from SysTools into DynFlags.

Someday, initSysTools should move wholesale into initDynFlags, because
most of the state that it initialises is now part of the DynFlags
structure, and the rest could be moved in easily.

Fix stage-2 build

Undo rev. 1.6, these changes shouldn't have been in this tree

Flags cleanup.

Basically the purpose of this commit is to move more of the compiler's
global state into DynFlags, which is moving in the direction we need
to go for the GHC API which can have multiple active sessions
supported by a single GHC instance.

Before:

$ grep 'global_var' */*hs | wc -l
     78

After:

$ grep 'global_var' */*hs | wc -l
     27

Well, it's an improvement.  Most of what's left won't really affect
our ability to host multiple sessions.

Lots of static flags have become dynamic flags (yay!).  Notably lots
of flags that we used to think of as "driver" flags, like -I and -L,
are now dynamic.  The most notable static flags left behind are the
"way" flags, eg. -prof.  It would be nice to fix this, but it isn't
urgent.

On the way, lots of cleanup has happened.  Everything related to
static and dynamic flags lives in StaticFlags and DynFlags
respectively, and they share a common command-line parser library in
CmdLineParser.  The flags related to modes (--makde, --interactive
etc.) are now private to the front end: in fact private to Main
itself, for now.

merge rev. 1.6.2.1, simplified slightly:

  Initialise a CostCentreStack by generating SIZEOF_CostCentreStack
  (gotten from the C compiler) zeros, padded to the nearest word.
  Improves on the previous fixes for unpredictable padding (see comment).

Add SIZEOF_CostCentreStack

Clarify -main-is documentation

Fix a few CCCS that should be W_[CCCS] that I just noticed.  I suspect
that heap-profiling STM code might run into difficulties in 6.4.

Fix +RTS -xc, which is broken in 6.4.

Rearrange the fields of CostCentreStack to leave no (or less) room for
arbitrary padding decisions by C compilers.

Re-clarify hs-boot docs

Follow-up fix to this:
  ghc --make should check for a module graph that
  contains a hs-boot file with no corresponding parent module

Namely, instead of complaining, just add the parent module.

Comments

Add note about GLUT from Claus (actually I have very little idea if
this is correct or not - Sven, if you have a chance to take a look
that would be great.)

Localise the binder for the nested defn in LiberateCase,
to avoid name clashes between top-level names.

Further to previous patch: only create the user database if we're modifying

Be a bit less eager about creating the user database: now we only
create it when explicitly asked to use it with --user.
