Use --force which ghc-pkg'ing standalone libs because ghc-pkg is run before the libs have actually been installed.  It would be better to delay running ghc-pkg.

Support for interop'ing with .NET via FFI declarations along the
lines of what Hugs98.NET offers, see

 http://haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-hugs/2003-March/001723.html

for FFI decl details.

To enable, configure with --enable-dotnet + have a look
in ghc/rts/dotnet/Makefile for details of what tools are needed to
build the .NET interop layer (tools from VS.NET / Framework SDK.)

The commit doesn't include some library additions + wider-scale
testing is required before this extension can be regarded as available
for general use. 'foreign import dotnet' is currently only supported
by the C backend.

wibble to previous commit

Prune more autoconf droppings from a source dist.

Also clean the Haddock interface file.

n+k patterns should be in Integral, according to the Report

Prune autoconf droppings from the source dist.

Clean AutoApply.hc too.

Clean .depend*, not just .depend (in fptools/ghc/compiler we have
several .depend files).

Note that autoconf 2.52 is required.

Use AC_PREREQ to ensure that we have at least autoconf 2.52, and
remove some old messages about version 2.13.

Surround import Util with #ifdef DEBUG, to avoid the warning (and so I
don't accidentally delete it again).

- Update on compatibility with recent GCC versions
- Mention that Happy might need to be checked out

(from Volker Stolz).

Don't recommend that people do 'cvs update -d' at the top level of an
fptools tree.

Remove duplicate #includes arising from foreign import decls

Assume that notNull in ASSERT is still needed, so revert import.

Fix two bugs in the PowerPC NCG:
1. it generated a 'subfi' (subtract from with immediate) instruction,
which doesn't exist in the PowerPC architecture.
2. didn't correctly handle switch tables (test case cg048.hs).

Small updates for 6.x

Use ErrUtils.showPass for printing the '*** Core Linted...' message
instead of rolling our own (also has the effect of sending this to
stderr for consistency).

Tidy up unused imports while I'm here.

Send "Result size =" messages to stderr.

Enable large-file support using AC_SYS_LARGEFILE.

HEADS UP: autoconf 2.5 is now needed to process configure.in.  I
figured this was preferable to copying the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro from
the autoconf sources and trying to make it work with autoconf 2.13.

Track changes in Generics.hs

If we're going to surround all arguments to external functions with
quotes (see SysTools.lhs rev. 1.88) then we shouldn't add quotes to
the arguments to -D and -U passed to cpp.

Advise against SplitObjs for Win32

Fix quoted source filenames on *nix

Noticed by: Calle Lejdfors
(please merge)

Enable Native Code Generator for PowerPC by default.

MERGE TO STABLE

Nuked unused GL/GLU version detection magic, extensions are now
completely handled at runtime, not compile time. This affects only
configure's --enable-hopengl option.

Fixed tests for _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX.
Whitespace is sometimes important in autconf scripts.  :-P

MERGE TO STABLE

Two more Solaris fixes:
- ln -s -f doesn't really work (but doesn't matter)
- 'echo -n' neither necessary nor portable
(please merge)

No (un)setenv until SUSv3 (e.g. Solaris 2.9). (fallback untested)

The HEAD is version 6.1 now.

For STANDALONE_PACKAGE: Let the package configuration file refer to
$(libdir) as ${pkglibdir}.  Note we can't use ${libdir} because
ghc-pkg already redefines it to point to GHC's libdir (bug or
feature?).

Make hackery to give $(GhcCanonVersion) the right value even when we
have a single-digit $(GhcMinVersion).

Remove ancient vestiges of StgHugs: the COMPILER #define.

First hack at supporting standalone packages.

What this means is that a non-GHC fptools project which sets
$(PACKAGE) in a Makefile should do something reasonable.  It works by
testing whether $(ProjectNameShort) == "ghc", and if it isn't, then:

 - it turns off all the machinery that deals with installing the
   package for use with the in-place compiler and a (future)
   installation of GHC.

 - instead, it enables a rule that installs the package using
   the installed $(GHC_PKG).  The configure script still needs
   updating to detect this, so 'make install' won't work yet.

 - $(GHC) is used instead of $(GHC_INPLACE) for compiling Haskell
   code.

Apart from the detection of ghc-pkg in configure, this should be all
that's needed to get source distributions and 'make install' going.

Comment only

Fix obscure bug in GHCi: when generating code for tag2enum#, we were
wrongly using the source name for the DataCons rather than the worker
name, which lead to spurious link errors.

This fixes galois_raytrace(ghci).

Make it work with newer versions of flex, which produce an extern
declaration for yywrap() unless YY_SKIP_YYWRAP is defined.

Rename and reorder the internals for unique ids etc. Also fixed a couple
of THSyntax names.

The Great Renaming. I hope I've kept everything in sync - and all the tests
pass. Now datatypes follow the

data Foo = <a kind of Foo>Foo
         | <another kind of Foo>Foo

convention and the smart constructors can be uniformly created by
lowercasing the first letter of the constructor.
