Reorganisation of the source tree

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.

The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level.  The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.

No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies.  A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.

-GHC build system
-================
+The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
+============================
 
-This is the top-level directory of the fptools build system.  Several
-packages are part of this build system; if you got this as part of a
-source distribution (eg. for GHC), then you will have one or more of
-the following directories:
+This is the source tree for GHC, a compiler and interactive
+environment for the Haskell functional programming language.
 
-    ghc		  The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
-    hslibs	  A Collection of Haskell libraries
-    haddock	  A Haskell documentation tool
-    haggis	  The Haggis GUI toolkit
-    happy	  The Happy Haskell parser generator
-    hdirect       Haskell interop tool
-    greencard	  A foreign function interface pre-processor for Haskell.
-    libraries	  Haskell libraries (reqd. by ghc)
-    nofib	  The NoFib Haskell benchmarking suite
+For more information, visit GHC's web site:
 
-Additional documentation for each project can be found in its
-respective directory.
+  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
 
-In addition, the following directories contain project-independent bits:
+Information for developers of GHC can be found here:
 
-    mk	          GNU make setup used by all of fptools
-    glafp-utils   Shared utility programs
-    docs          Documentation on the installing and using
-                  the fptools build system.
-    distrib	  Tools and additional bits for building distributions

-Quick start:  the following is *supposed* to work
 
+Building & Installing
+=====================
+
+NB. you need GHC installed in order to build GHC, because the compiler
+is itself written in Haskell.  It is possible to build GHC using just
+a C compiler, but we don't recommend this as the normal route.  If you
+*really* want to do it this way, then see the Building Guide (link
+below).
+
+You also need a few other tools installed: Happy [4], Alex [5], and
+Haddock [6] (for building library documentation), and a good DocBook
+XML toolchain if you want to build the compiler documentation. 
+
+Quick start:  the following gives you a default build:
+
+	$ autoreconf
 	$ ./configure
 	$ make
 	$ make install
 
-where 'make' is whatever GNU make is called on your system (GNU make
-is *required*).  If there are any other tools required for the build,
-then the configure script will detect them and tell you if any are
-missing.  For example, a working GHC installation is required for
-building most of the tools (including GHC itself).
+The autoreconf step is only necessary if this is a tree checked out
+from darcs.  For source distributions downloaded from GHC's web site,
+this step has already been performed.
+
+These steps give you the default build, which includes everything
+optimised and built in various ways (eg. profiling libs are built).
+It can take a long time.  To customise the build, see the file
+HACKING.
+
+For full information on building GHC, see the GHC Building Guide [3],
+which is also available in source form (DocBook XML) in docs/building.
 
-The configuration script is a standard GNU autoconf script which
-accepts all the normal arguments, eg. --prefix=<blah> to install the
-package somewhere other than /usr/local.  Try ./configure --help to
-get a full list of the options.
 
-There is usually an ANNOUNCE* file with any distribution.  Please
-consult that, or the <piece>/README file, to find out how to proceed.
