Andy Gill asked me to remove his license to keep things simple.

Haddock stuff has moved to ../../mk/package.mk

use $(includedir) and INSTALL_INCLUDES rather than overriding $(datadir)

Remove spurious comma in export list.

Add license from Andy Gill's HTML library

Remove this hack.  Happy 1.13 is now required to build GHC.

---------------------------------------
	    Rehash the handling of SeqOp
	---------------------------------------

See the comments in the commentary (Cunning Prelude Code).

* Expunge SeqOp altogether

* Add GHC.Base.lazy :: a -> a
  to GHC.Base

* Add GHC.Base.lazy
  to basicTypes/MkId.  The idea is that this defn will over-ride
  the info from GHC.Base.hi, thereby hiding strictness and
  unfolding

* Make stranal/WorkWrap do a "manual inlining" for GHC.Base.lazy
  This happens nicely after the strictness analyser has run.

* Expunge the SeqOp/ParOp magic in CorePrep

* Expunge the RULE for seq in PrelRules

* Change the defns of pseq/par in GHC.Conc to:

	{-# INLINE pseq  #-}
       	pseq :: a -> b -> b
       	pseq  x y = x `seq` lazy y

       	{-# INLINE par  #-}
       	par :: a -> b -> b
       	par  x y = case (par# x) of { _ -> lazy y }

Fix bug in the implementation of hGetLine: on finding the EOF when we
have a partial line in our hands, we weren't resetting the state of
the buffer to empty, so the same partial line would be returned for
each subsequent call to hGetLine.

--------------------------
	Deal with NaN and Infinity
	--------------------------

This commit arranges that

* GHC.Real exports	infinity   :: Rational = 1 :% 0
			notANumber :: Rational = 0 :% 0

* GHC.Float.fromRat converts these Rational non-numbers into
  their Float/Double equivalents


As a result, arith015/arith016 start to work again.  We can
read NaN and Infinity into Float/Double.

Add comment

Provide STRefs over both lazy and strict ST monads as,

   Data.STRef.Lazy
   Data.STRef.Strict
   Data.STRef      <-- the strict version.

i.e., mirror how the strict and lazy ST monads are
organised over in Control.Monad.ST

Some extra docs, from Jon Fairbairn

typo in email address (noticed by J?n Fairbairn, thanks J?n).

Use :%, not % for Inf/NaN, the latter would immediately lead to a
runtime error. Note that

   isInfinite (read "Infinity" :: Float)

or

   isInfinite (fromRational (1 :% 0))

still don't work, because fromRational is not OK for those cases.

Minor doc formatting improvement

Install HSbase3.o, too.
NOTE: This is untested, but probably corrects the previous commit.

Read instance for Array, plus some documentation

Win32 comment

------------------------------------------------
	Fix the (new) lexer, and make the derived read
	and show code work according to the new H98 report
	------------------------------------------------


The new lexer, based on Koen's cunning parser (Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP)
wasn't quite right.  It's all very cool now.

In particular:

* The H98 "lex" function should return the exact string parsed, and it
now does, aided by the new combinator ReadP.gather.

* As a result the Text.Read.Lex Lexeme type is much simpler than before
    data Lexeme
      = Char   Char	-- Quotes removed,
      | String String	-- 	escapes interpreted
      | Punc   String 	-- Punctuation, eg "(", "::"
      | Ident  String	-- Haskell identifiers, e.g. foo, baz
      | Symbol String	-- Haskell symbols, e.g. >>, %
      | Int Integer
      | Rat Rational
      | EOF
     deriving (Eq,Show)

* Multi-character punctuation, like "::" was getting lexed as a Symbol,
but it should be a Punc.

* Parsing numbers wasn't quite right.  "1..n" got it confused because it
got committed to a decimal point and then found a second '.'.


* The new H98 spec for Show is there, which ignores associativity.

documentation adjustments.

Adjust to three-way split of HSbase + accommodate cygwin.

PEi(x86) backends: The addition of Parsec to libraries/ put us over
the limit for splitting HSbase into two parts (at least I couldn't
find a good paritioning), we now need three. Fun and games.

IO.hGetContents ==> System.IO.hGetContents (in docs)

Moved Parsec to its new home

Added Show instance for FunPtr
