Opened May 05, 2001 by Simon Marlow@simonmarDeveloper

Remove ccall and casm support from GHC.

The _ccall_ feature has been subsumed by the new FFI, and is deprecated. 

The _casm_ feature is non-portable, and the new FFI (in conjunction with tools such as hsc2hs) provide a superset of its functionality. 

Both of these features should be removed, once the libraries have been updated to use the FFI.
