green-card => greencard
Green Card => GreenCard

Although Alastair prefers "Greencard", the library's name is
"Foreign.GreenCard", and unless we change this, too, "GreenCard" is
more consistent.

Revamped version comparison test (no bash-isms, more conservative)

OpenBSD's sh doesn't like the parentheses in "foo='(-1)'" so let's
drop them. Thanks to Don for pointing this out.

Nuked FPTOOLS_O_BINARY test and use FP_CHECK_CONST instead, which is
shorter and better (e.g. cross compilation).

* Cleaned up FP_CHECK_ALIGNMENT test a bit.

* Nuked FPTOOLS_CHECK_CCONST test in favour of a more general one
  which handles cross compilation and languages different from C.

Nuked the broken FPTOOLS_CC_FLAG test and added a more general
FP_CHECK_FLAG test instead.

Nuked FPTOOLS_MSGHDR_MSG_ACCRIGHTS and FPTOOLS_MSGHDR_MSG_CONTROL
tests. Use autoconf's own macros for dealing with struct members.

Death to the acconfig.h hack!

Expand the (a bit faulty) definition of AC_MSG_FAILURE, which is only
available since autoconf 2.57. Thanks to Don for pointing this out.

Renamed FP_ALTZONE to FP_DECL_ALTZONE

Revamped FPTOOLS_PROG_DIFF

Nuked AC_C_PROTOTYPES macro. We don't need the result and newer
autoconfs come with their own definition.

Nuked unused macro FPTOOLS_IN_SCOPE

* Revamped macro for alignment test
* Fixed a few tests for "long long"s

Nuked FPTOOLS_C_LONG_LONG, AC_CHECK_TYPES already does what we want.

AC_PROG_LEX really checks for the existence of "lex" when "flex" is
not found, so there is no need for AC_PROG_LEX_STRICT.

Furthermore, flex/lex is not really needed for building GHC, so we
issue only a warning instead of dying when flex and lex are not found.

Nuked unused FPTOOLS_PROG_YACCY test and support for yacc/bison in
general. If it is ever needed again, it can easily be resurrected.

Nuked unused FPTOOLS_REGEX_IN_LIBC test

Revamped altzone detection. Note that we test only for successful
compilation now, not for successful linking, but this is what most
autoconf macros do.

* Following the autoconf coding style recommendations, use "#" for
  comments, not "dnl".

* Local macros will get the prefix "FP_" instead of "FPTOOLS_". The
  latter is a bit heavyweight and too fptools-centric.

Nuked unused tests FPTOOLS_HAVE_TIMEZONE and FPTOOLS_TYPE_TIMEZONE

CVS keywords considered harmful

OpenBSD x86 has finally moved to ELF.
So it no longer needs a leading underscore on symbols.
However, like FreeBSD, it tries to be friendly, and accept it
anyway. So we have to hard code it.

Don't require Alex for building GHC (yet).

Fix the Alex-version-detecting machinery

Detect Alex, and add --use-src-tree-alex option to configure.

OpenGL support for Mac OS X:

In FPTOOLS_CHECK_HTYPE, be ready to include Apple's non-standard
<OpenGL/gl.h>
instead of the usual <GL/gl.h>.

To accomodate the Hugs package conversion magic, use separate
variables for OpenGL libraries and GLUT libraries.

s/green-card/greencard/

merge rev. 1.116.2.1:

FPTOOLS_O_BINARY: lift #include to the top.

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.

Add checks for ghc-pkg and green-card 3.00 (used in x11 lib)

Check for the rlim_t type

GNU ar seems to have trouble with duplicate object file names if you
use the 's' modifier, so detect GNU ar here and use a simple 'ar q'
command to create archives.

This bug was tickled when I replaced an 'ar q' with '$(AR)' in
target.mk yesterday: the default $(AR) is 'ar clqs'.

Fixes to make previous revision compatible with autoconf 2.13.

Synched OpenGL detection macro with HOpenGL-1.04.
TODO: Modularization of the macro and caching.

- Detect whether we have a recent GCC that might need
  -mno-omit-leaf-fram-pointer.

- Add missing HAVE_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX and HAVE_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
  templates to acconfig.h.

- Regen mk/config.h.in.

Avoid using a variable for the first argument of AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED,
because autoheader doesn't like it.

Remove tests for text/data section boundary symbols.

Let configure know about perl v5.8
