RawSystem inclusion belongs inside the __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ ifdef.

When .hc bootstrapping, don't build the Concurrent_stubs

Make the documentation and the error messages match the way the threaded
RTS is used nowadays
(the -threaded flag to ghc rather than ./configure --enable-threaded-rts)

MERGE TO STABLE

Move the definition of rawSystem into a separate file which we
#include in the places it is needed.  This is slightly better than
copying the code, since we now need it in three places
(ghc/utils/runghc is the 3rd).

Hugs: use the same version of fixIO as GHC

New version of fixIO which does eager blackholing.

- comments on INLINability of unsafePerformIO

- change unsafeInterleaveIO from NOINLINE to INLINE(!)  we believe
  this is safe.  Interestingly, there's now a good reason to use
  unsafeInterleaveIO.

Fix a file descriptor leak in openFile: if openFd fails, then we
weren't closing the newly created descriptor.

indent: don't use tab characters

Tiny fix in Haddock markup

Use consistent capitalisation

fix a warning

track Data/Generics/* twists

We decided that we want the gunfold primitive back.
This avoids some hassle with bottoms and strict datatypes.
The compiler now also derives gunfold.

Added withArrayLen and withArrayLen0

This package is named "base", not "core".

* Merged Martin Sj-A?gren's patch for multiline descriptions-b
* Nuked some TABs in favour of space + some small reformatting
* Updated copyright

Add caveat about finalizers (don't refer to Handles from finalizers).

For nhc98, at last include the Typeable macros which define the instance decls.

Implemented renaming for Data.Typeable according to
http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/libraries/2004-March/001846.html

change instances of Typeable to macros

revert a couple of tcnames for greater consistency (fixes dynamic001).

Comments (and deleted some of the blank lines Ralf is so fond of).

clean up the TypeableN stuff a bit: GHC uses overlapping instances;
everyone else uses explicit instances using provided defaults.
Macros paper over the difference.

HACK: Unbreak the Hugs build again, Typeable left the realm of Haskell98 one
more time. I slowly doubt if this module belongs to the "base" package at
all... If it stays there, things should better be tested with Hugs and nh98
before committing, the latter build probably breaks, too.

- fix one performance bug: we weren't updating the bucket count when
  expanding the hash table, so too many expansions were happening.

- slight improvement to hashString: if we use foldl rather than foldr,
  the resulting code uses an accumulating parameter and runs in linear
  stack space.

Bugfix for insert (from the missing-prime class of bugs)

Installed genneric instances for Typeable1, ..., Typeable7.
Updated Data/Generics/Instances.hs accordingly.

I thought that I removed that one.

Some more refactoring and renaming to be aligned with the boilerplate II
paper. Removed the weird module Generics.Reify, the code of which still
lives in testsuite (see example reify.hs). One will also need to cvs upd
the compiler which again changed slightly with regard to deriving Data.

comment typo

nhc98 (built by ghc/solaris) needs more stack to make System.Time.

Plumb System.Time and System.CPUTime into nhc98 libraries build.

#ifdefs for nhc98.

withObject -> with

Once more revised the Data class.
You will need to cvs upd the compiler as well.

nhc98: ensure the Either type is identical with Prelude.Either.

small improvements from Ian Lynagh

Code that uses deriving (... Data ...)
will require an updated *compiler* to be in line with
these new boilerplate modules.

Overall changes:
- Revised datatype/constructor representations.
- Enhanced API for construction and observation.
- Added many Data instances for prelude-like types.

To make it compile with nhc98, #ifdef out the Typeable[12] instances.
