Make recent _hsc.c / cbits changes work (i.e., need to add . to the include path)

Changed

    # Add _hsc.c files to the cbits library
    SRCS += $(wildcard ../*_hsc.c)

(which didn't work because SRCS has already been pattern-matched and
substituted into other make variables to death by then) to

    # Add _hsc.c files to the cbits library
    C_SRCS += $(wildcard ../*_hsc.c)

clean up; move some code into more relevant parts of the file.

Improved how we build library archives:

On Digital UNIX (or where otherwise available), use the "Z" option to
compress archives as we build them.

On Digital UNIX 5 (or where otherwise available), use the "-input" option,
which reads from a specified file the list of objects to archive.  This is
significantly faster than piping the list of objects to xargs when the
number of objects to archive is large.

Fixed: making dependencies for Haskell source files fails if -split-objs
is present in $(HC_OPTS).

Follow the s/includes/include/ change in package.conf.

Set -DDLLized when DLLized is true for use in C source

Fix DLL building, and add support for linking .hsc.o files into cbits libraries

Rewire so that hsc.c files get built as part of cbits library.

Replace GhcLibToolsHcOpts with FptoolsHcOpts, and make it apply to all
programs in fptools, not just the hslibs tools. Now there's a way of
controlling compiler flags to all programs in the tree, so

a) by default all utilities should be optimised (before this was only done
for one or two like hsc2hs)

b) if you're doing development work, you can get everything built quicker by
setting FptoolsHcOpts appropriately

Change HSLIB to PACKAGE and HSLIB_DEPS to PACKAGE_DEPS, which makes more
sense. Also unbreaks the build system, in an arse-about-face sort of way
(or, if you prefer, cart-before-horse).

Only use -package-name when in a package

Move -package-name and -package flag setting up a level

Ensure the boilerplate rule still applies for building HSstd_cbits.o.

Changes to build HSstd1.o and HSstd2.o for GHCi in lib/std

Fixes for the hsc2hs rules.

Compile and link *_hsc.c.

Use -hcsuf to avoid clobbering .hc files when building several ways,
and clean up the -osuf usage (put all the suffix-changing options in
one place).

support for building .pdf docs

$(bindir) has to be in place before creating symbolic links (otherwise, rpms
cannot be built with the BUILD_ROOT feature).

Move mingwin gcc options to opts.mk (put in CC_OPTS always).

Make ghc-inplace work on Windows by adding FPTOOLS_TOP_ABS_UNIX to be always
the UNIX-style version of the path (for the Cygwin tools), and make CC_OPTS
be set even if there is no C_PROG, so that -mno-cygwin and -mwin32 are
always passed on Windows (and must be filtered out where not needed, e.g. in
lndir.c).

small hacks for bootstrapping

Changes to support bootstrapping the compiler from .hc files.  It's
not quite working yet, but it's not far off.

  - the biggest change is that any injected #includes are now placed in
    the .hc file at generation time, rather than compilation time.  I
    can't see any reason not to do this - it makes it clear by looking at
    the .hc file which files are being #included, it means one less
    temporary file at compilation time, and it means the .hc file is more
    standalone.

  - all the gruesomeness is in mk/bootstrap.mk, which handles building
    .hc files without a ghc driver.

Add -mno-cygwin to CC_OPTS on mingwin (we were building all our auxiliary
programs Cygwinised before...).

Move rules to tag .hi files with the way from hslibs/mk/target.mk to
fptools/mk/target.mk.

Remove an out-of-date comment and correct a Windows wibble.

oops, back out accidental changes

Don't build HS*.o for ways other than the normal way.

Remove some duplicate Makefile gunk, and collect the symbolic link
code together in mk/target.mk.

Renamed ALL, BOOT and INSTALL (!) variables to ALL_TARGET, BOOT_TARGET,
and INSTALL_TARGET to get rid of a conflict with autoconf's INSTALL
variable.

Fix generating HS*.o: don't confuse make by changing timestamps.

Correctly generate HS*.o (first collect each module's object files, then
collect modules).

protect against systems where

	eval ""

returns false (namely MacOS X)

Change the way the top-level Makefile works, now that we have a
dependency between ghc and hslibs which means that you can't `make
boot' in hslibs until you've done `make all' in ghc.

  - now you just type `make all' at the top-level, and the makefile
    arranges to do `make boot all' in each of the subdirectories.
    Typing `make boot' at the top-level now yields a message explaining
    what's going on.

  - Now it's no longer necessary to set $(ProjectsToBuild).  If you don't
    set it, the build system attempts to build all the projects in
    the source tree, in the order determined by $(AllProjects) in
    config.mk.  I've been meaning to fix this for ages, since it meant
    that one had to hand-edit config.mk.in when making a distribution
    for anything other than GHC - this is no longer the case.

    You still *can* set ProjectsToBuild if you want to, however.

  - ProjectsToInstall has been replaced by ProjectsDontInstall, and
    has the obvious, reverse, meaning.  It also has a reasonable default,
    so the need to set it should be rare.

All this has the obvious benefit that to build GHC you need one fewer
commands (no more `make boot'), and anyone that has "./configure &&
make && make install" hardwired into their brains will feel right at
home.

bugfix for GHCi lib building

build cbits libraries correctly for GHCi.

vsgml? What's that?

add stuff for building GHCi libraries automatically.

Merge before-ghci -> before-ghci-branch-merged in the non-ghc parts of
the tree.
