mention that GNU make 3.80 is required.

remove one mention of hslibs

Move the building guide to GHC where it belongs. This is more consistent and
currently even necessary, otherwise *every* fptools project would need the ghc
subtree.

- include the contents of ghc/HACKING verbatim, as a "quick start"
  guide

- change the title to "Building and devleloping GHC", and make it a
  bit more GHC-centric.

merge rev. 1.13.2.12 from ghc-6-4-branch

note about watching for/preventing overwrites of critical files in the
bootstrap process.

Small fixes to the Win32 build log

change glass.cse.ogi.edu to cvs.haskell.org

Update notes on Perl

DocBook validation police

Stuff about building on windows, mainly from Claus

Fix porting instructions

And yesterday's "I messed up DocBook XML, too!" award goes to...

   *drum roll*

   ... Simon Peyton-Jones!

Congratulations! :-)

Update comments on hslibs to make it clear that that they are (a) deprecated,
and (b) not required for building GHC.

	Merge to STABLE

Remove -fasm from porting instructions

Fix XML (sorry, Sven)

wibble

update list of files to be touched during bootstrapping

Add note about GLUT from Claus (actually I have very little idea if
this is correct or not - Sven, if you have a chance to take a look
that would be great.)

some more wibbles in cross-compiling

Add some text about platforms I forgot to commit before, and a couple
of wibbles to the porting section.

Be clearer about HC files: you need a set generated on the same
platform, not just similar hardware.

Fixed a typo and a cut-n-pasto

bootstrapping wibble

tidy up

updates

small wibble

Begin updating the porting instructions for GHC 6.4.  A few details
have changed.

Mention problem with ld on Windows

An old commit about paths on windows

Quick Start section: add disclaimer for Windows builders

Updated the DocBook story

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...

Re-added indices + minor fixes

Converted the building guide to DocBook XML

Mention the splitter in the section on porting.

Extremely strange: Some backend emit an ugly trailing ">" when "xref" is an
empty element, but none when only a start tag is used. *sigh* So let's revert
this part of the changes for now...

* Fixed some "screen" vs. "programlisting"

* Don't use leading spaces in verbatim elements just for formatting purposes

* Be extremely cautious with whitespace in verbatim elements to avoid strange
  empty leading/trailing lines. More investigation needed what's really going on
  here, this shouldn't be necessary...
