Apply the fix from

   [ 1015205 ] ghc-split fails to quote path when used as regex

namely escape backslashes in the pathname $Tmp_prefix before using it
as a regex.  The fix doesn't look like it solves the general case, but
it'll do for now.

Catch exit(127) result from raw system, and report that we couldn't
execute the program.  This is a semi-hack; all exec() errors get
reported as exit(127) by rawSystem, but if we treat it just like a
program that does exit(127) then the user sees no output.

Fix profiling (ASSIGN_CCSID macros had gone away).

RTS_SYMBOLS: added closure_flags (innards-peeking user code may use this); merge to STABLE

Fixed version/release magic. Actually I think we're doing things the wrong way
here: We should use AC_INIT with a version parameter as the central place for
this info and substitute what's needed into the rest of the files.

markup fixes (and one typo) in arrow notation section

add the Debian location for XSL stylesheets

Get the version number into ghc-pkg by creating Version.hs from the
Makefile to avoid GHC and possibly shell versionitis.

Try to fix up the previous commit.  I'm not sure if this is quite
right, but it should be closer.

Warning fix on Win32.

Rationalise the install settings a bit.  Before, if you had $OWNER or
$GROUP set in your environment, then these would lead to options being
given to install, possibly with unexpected results.  This caused
install to fail for at least one person.

Now, $(INSTALL_OWNER) and $(INSTALL_GROUP) are set via
config.mk/build.mk as with other settings.

turns out that 5.04.x differs in how args are quoted across plats; try to cope.

Cleaned up FPTOOLS_UNDERSCORE (changequote is evil!) and renamed it to
FP_LEADING_UNDERSCORE

The crusade against configuration bit rot continues: Cleaned up header checks

Removed duplicate tests for headers

Nuked tests already done via standard AC_INCLUDES_DEFAULT

Removed unused function checks

doh

escape GHC_PKG_VERSION double quotes on all platforms when compiling with <=6.0.x

Trimmed a few function checks

Beautified test for ghc-pkg

Aesthetic fix: Redirect error messages for non-GNU ar to /dev/null

all target: if building GMP, only descend into gmp/ when way=""

Better tags generation, avoiding derived files (still a bit ad hoc)

Oops: always qualify when printing code

Updated BuildRequires tags. Alas, there seems to be no real standard here, so
your mileage may vary... At least the current specs should work on SuSE Linux.

SGML is dead, long live DocBook XML!

Note: The BuildRequires tags in the spec files are still incomplete
and the documentation about the DocBook tools needs to be updated,
too. Stay tuned...

	Print built-in sytax right
	-------------------------------

Built-in syntax, like (:) and [], is not "in scope" via the GlobalRdrEnv
in the usual way.  When we print it out, we should also print it in unqualified
form, even though it's not in the environment.

I've finally bitten the (not very big) bullet, and added to Name the information
about whether or not a name is one of these built-in ones.  That entailed changing
the calls to mkWiredInName, but those are exactly the places where you have to
decide whether it's built-in or not, which is fine.


Built-in syntax => It's a syntactic form, not "in scope" (e.g. [])

Wired-in thing  => The thing (Id, TyCon) is fully known to the compiler,
		   not read from an interface file.
		   E.g. Bool, True, Int, Float, and many others

All built-in syntax is for wired-in things.

Fix recently-introduced improvement bug

Urk, since when has subtraction been associative.  /me dons the pointy
hat.

Add the :def . readFile example.

Add the location of the docbook XSL stylesheets on this RedHat 9 box
to the list of places to look.

tidy up EOL termination handling under mingw; as was, C-related dependencies were being accumulated in existing dependency files, not replaced

backquote GHC_PKG_VERSION defn for <= ghc-6.0.x; believe this is only needed under mingw

FP_READDIR_EOF_ERRNO: better use AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED here

fix braino in previous commit: we should cast the function result to
the right type, not just assume (W_).

Fix typo that caused non -O to see unfoldings
