Set BINDIST_DOC_WAYS appropriately depending on which doc-building
tools are available.  The default is to build all of html, ps & pdf if
possible.

BINDIST_DOC_WAYS: permit variable to be overridden (in a mk/build.mk, perhaps); merge to STABLE

updates to hc-file-bundle target

hc-file-bundle: need to track ghc/lib too

Fill in the haddock-interfaces and haddock-html fields in the
package.conf files.

To do this I had to make some changes:

  - haddock-interfaces requires the value of $(datadir).  We can't
    just plug this in, because $(datadir) might change at install-time
    (eg. a Windows installer can be placed anywhere, as can a Unix
    binary .tar.gz distribution).  The current trick is for the
    compiler to splice in the value of $libdir in package.conf at
    runtime.  So we could extend this mechanism and tell the compiler
    the value of $datadir via a command-line option, but that seems
    ugly.

    On Windows, $datadir==$libdir, so we don't need any changes:
    package.conf still uses $libdir, and a Windows installation is
    independent of its absolute location.  Even 'make install' on
    Windows should have this property.

    On Unix:
	- for 'make install' and in-place execution, we just use
          absolute paths in package.conf

	- for a binary dist, we generate a package.conf that refers
	  to $libdir and $datadir, and splice in the values at
	  install-time (distrib/Makefile-bin.in).

  - Also, I renamed $libdir to $topdir to more closely reflect its
    actual meaning.  This is somewhat malicious in that it will flush
    out all those clients using $libdir when they really shouldn't
    be :-)

Add mk/fptools.css to $(SRC_DIST_FILES)

ghc/mk/config.mk was never being included in ordinary Makefiles.  It
was only included in the top-level fptools/Makefile for the purposes
of obtaining binary distribution settings.

This fixes that problem, and now as a side-effect $(GhcHasReadline)
will start working again.

Check for shell scripts first - they don't exist on my Windows nightly build.

* Added new target for creating *.bz2 source distributions
* Cleanup *.tar.gz / *.tar.bz2 when things go wrong

Makefile.config is dead, so don't include it in SRC_DIST_FILES.

Make sure "docs" and "dist" exactly once in SRC_DIST_DIRS.

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...

<fanfare>Finally: Support for DocBook XML!</fanfare>

After endless frustrating hours, I came to the conclusion that using (Open)Jade
for DocBook XML is virtually impossible, there are *tons* of problems with it:
Wildly differing paths, incorrect stylesheets, broken catalogs at funny places,
broken wrapper scripts, missing support on Cygwin etc.  >:-P * * *

So we follow the ubiquitous XSL hype and use xsltproc + DocBook XSL stylesheets
to transform DocBook XML to HTML and FO. From FO there are two routes to PDF and
PostScript: Either via FOP (preferred) or via PassiveTeX. Validation can be done
via xmllint using the new make target "validate". When PassiveTeX is available,
DVI can be generated, too.  A new make target "no-chunks-html" is available for
generating an all-in-one HTML document. Currently there is no way to generate
plain text or RTF, but at least the former could easily be added.

Generating HTML works out-of-the-box on Cygwin now, but you will have to install
FOP for other formats, because there seems to be no standard package for it.

The HTML appearance can be controlled via CSS, but the current location of the
master stylesheet below fptools/mk is a bit debatable. Better suggestions are
welcome.

Currently there is still support for SGML documents, but it will be dropped when
all documents are converted to DocBook XML. The build system is complex enough
already with the support for a *single* kind of DocBook...

Install MinGW32 gcc and perl.

Retrofit Simon's DOCBOOK_CATALOG fix for platforms without DOCBOOK.

build target should use '::' not ':'

Reverted to previous version, too, because of wrong SGMLDocWays-handling, sorry,
but the build system should not be changed in a  non-backwards-compatible way
easily...

Support for nightly builds of utilities, esp. machines with no doc tools.

Add config.cache to DIST_CLEAN_FILES and remove autom4te.cache subdir
for every clean* target

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.

Death to the acconfig.h hack!

Ooops, forgot about a dozen references to configure.in... :-}

Further updates to the hc-file-bundle target: ghc/compiler/utils is
required, and we should also keep ghc/rts/AutoApply.hc.

Fixes to the hc-file-bundle

Submitted by: Urban Boquist <boquist@crt.se>

Adapt the dist target a little to work with the nightly build's new
way of building source dists.

It now works by building a link tree to the build tree, and doing
'make dist' on the link tree, to avoid destroying the real build tree.
This just needed a couple of tweaks to the dist target to work.

Towards a complete binary package.
