wibble - drop a ? from a fprintf format string to avoid having it look like a trigraph seq might be present

Minor tweaks to IlxGen backend

Check for re_search_2() when checking whether libc has GNU regex.
This is a temporary fix until we get rid of GNU regex altogether and
do something more portable.

*** MAYBE MERGE ***

NetBSD is ELF only now.

*** MAYBE MERGE (and the last revision) ***

we're only supporting NetBSD/ELF now, not a.out (Lennart's suggestion)

wibble

Add -lm to HC_BOOT_LIBS

*** MAYBE MERGE ***

Link with HStext_cbits in case we need regex (bug from Lennart).

*** MAYBE MERGE ***

netbsd_aout => netbsdaout

NetBSD <= 1.4 is a.out, apparently

NetBSD is ELF by default.

	Wibbles to Don's runtime-types commit
	-------------------------------------

There was an upside down predicate which utterly broke the compiler.

While I was about it

* I changed the global flag to
	opt_RuntimeTypes
  with command line option
	-fruntime-types (was -fkeep-stg-types)

* I moved isRuntimeArg, isRuntimeVar to CoreSyn

Conditionally descend into touchy/

'touch' replacement (for use under Win32 in a cygwin-free setup only)

Various changes for ILX backend and type-passing compilers, code reviewed by SimonPJ

	More stuff towards generalising 'foreign' declarations
	------------------------------------------------------

This is the second step towards generalising 'foreign' declarations to
handle langauges other than C.  Now I can handle

  foreign import dotnet type T
  foreign import dotnet "void Foo.Baz.f( T )" f :: T -> IO ()



			** WARNING **
	I believe that all the foreign stuff for C should
	work exactly as before, but I have not tested it
	thoroughly.  Sven, Manuel, Marcin: please give it a
	whirl and compare old with new output.


Lots of fiddling around with data types.  The main changes are

* HsDecls.lhs
	The ForeignDecl type and its friends
	Note also the ForeignType constructor to TyClDecl

* ForeignCall.lhs
	Here's where the stuff that survives right through
	compilation lives

* TcForeign.lhs DsForeign.lhs
	Substantial changes driven by the new data types

* Parser.y ParseIface.y RnSource
	Just what you'd expect

Tiny delta towards .NET

Fixes for the hsc2hs rules.

Make hGetContents work on DuplexHandles, and some small cleanups.

Import assertPanic to support the ASSERT

Add {-# OPTION -fvia-C #-} so that the compiler can compile itself
in --make mode (yes, really!)

-lreadline --> readline

- hack to make getArgs return [] and getProgName return
  "<interactive>" under GHCi.

- use IO.stdout and IO.stderr instead of PrelHandle for the
  automatic flushing.

Don't catch ExitException at the top level, just re-throw it.

Add -mwin32 -mno-cygwin to CPPFLAGS on Windows.

Guess I forgot to commit this file as part of the exitWith changes
yesterday.  Anyway, commit my version now (no functional changes).

wibble

Remove module dependency loop: don't import PrelIOBase in PrelRead.
readIO is in PrelIO, remove it from PrelRead. Derive instance Read
BufferMode automatically.

Added the -h (header) option; it prefixes the unlit'ed output with a pair
of line pragmas, e.g.,

  foo$ unlit -h foo.lhs foo.lhs - | head -3
  # 1 "foo.lhs"
  {-# LINE 1 "foo.lhs" #-}
  module Foo where
  foo$

Using -h saves the main user of 'unlit', GHC, from having to do the
prepending of line pragmas via shellular magic. (=> GHC is able to
drop the dependency on there being a UNIX-like shell underneath when
using System.system).

Fix small callconv-related import mismatches etc.

front panel wibble.

- System.exitWith now raises a (new) exception,
	ExitException ExitCode.

- While I was there I cleaned up System.getArgs and
  System.getProgName, using foriegn label and removing progargs.c

Need to make ghc/utils in the second stage before we clean in
ghc/lib/std, because hsc2hs is needed to boot ghc/lib/std, but the
libraries are needed to build hsc2hs itself.

*** MERGE ***

Merge from 4.08 branch.

-------------------------------------------
	Towards generalising 'foreign' declarations
	-------------------------------------------

This is a first step towards generalising 'foreign' declarations to
handle langauges other than C.  Quite a lot of files are touched,
but nothing has really changed.  Everything should work exactly as
before.

	But please be on your guard for ccall-related bugs.

Main things

Basic data types: ForeignCall.lhs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Remove absCSyn/CallConv.lhs

* Add prelude/ForeignCall.lhs.  This defines the ForeignCall
  type and its variants

* Define ForeignCall.Safety to say whether a call is unsafe
  or not (was just a boolean).  Lots of consequential chuffing.

* Remove all CCall stuff from PrimOp, and put it in ForeignCall


Take CCallOp out of the PrimOp type (where it was always a glitch)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Add IdInfo.FCallId variant to the type IdInfo.GlobalIdDetails,
	along with predicates Id.isFCallId, Id.isFCallId_maybe

* Add StgSyn.StgOp, to sum PrimOp with FCallOp, because it
  *is* useful to sum them together in Stg and AbsC land.  If
  nothing else, it minimises changes.


Also generally rename "CCall" stuff to "FCall" where it's generic
to all foreign calls.

Clarify what NON_POSIX_SOURCE is needed for (S_ISSOCK namely).  This
module is probably badly named.  Anyway, things will likely change in
this area shortly when the Win32 port happens.

Add changes for latest 4.08.2 InstallShield; merge into 4.08 branch,
especially as the HEAD story will soon change with the New Improved Windows
System for GHC 5.

Update for the latest 4.08.2 InstallShield. This will also be merged into
the 4.08 branch, and will change again shortly (for the better) with the New
Scheme that GHC 5 for Windows will use.

Add -L$(FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS)/ghc/rts/gmp to the link flags (noticed by:
Lennart).
