bootstrap from HC files
There's some work to do on 6.8 to ensure that we can still bootstrap from HC files. This will be slightly harder due to the new Cabal-based build system for libraries, and the solution will probably involve 'setup makefile' somewhere. Also we'll need to update the building guide to include the new instructions, whatever they may be.
