Improve error message

	*** MERGE TO STABLE BRANCH ***

Fixed my email address

Remove duplicate line in Linker.c

	*** MERGE TO STABLE BRANCH ***

HEAD is now 5.05

Reverted to check for `null srcs' (instead of `null real_srcs') to determine
whether to throw "no input files".  Otherwise, something like

  ghc -o foo ObjectGeneratedByGHC.o

doesn't work anymore.

isSourceFile: widened to also return True for .hc files

5.04

When validating the number of source files on the command-line wrt other
options, only consider source files. i.e., don't consider .a's and .o's
that inadvertently, and idempotently, might be present.

Allow module names up to 50 chars wide without misalignment of the
profiling table.  For example: "Graphics.UI.ObjectIO.Process.Toolbar"
no longer messes up the output.

The output is now well over 80 chars wide now.

Fix error message

In hPutLitString, catch the empty string case before calling hPutBuf.
Some older versions of hPutBufFull choke on a zero-length buffer.

Fixes occasional problems with the Sparc native code generator, which
uses SLIT("") in a couple of places.

Mingw32 has problems with "long long" display so convert to float output.

comment out para mentioning old ghc-win32 page; doesn't contain all that much useful info any longer

updated external core frontend info

Remove -fcore option, a NOP. (The Core frontend is enabled by feeding
GHC .hcr files.)

added a note about MacOS X support

version 5.04

Announce for 5.04

Small fix to the documentation installation

Remove old BIN_DIST specific stuff

Remove the stuff on building the documentation to the building guide.

Add documentation on building the documentation.  (I've moved the
section on building documentation from the User's Guide, it doesn't
really seem appropriate there).

Reorder sections of type-system extensions

Direct the punter to GHC.Exts rather than GHC.Prim.

After loading a package, set the context to something sensible

Note that literate Haskell is not supported by hsc2hs at the moment

Updates, mainly to get the documentation installed

Give the book an id so it gets a nice HTML filename

make $(datadir)/html before attempting to install into it

For a binary distribution, install docs using the standard
install-docs target rather than hacky copying (needed now that we use
Haddock for building some of the docs too).

Don't omit docs when doing a binary dist

Remove $(GhcBinDistDocs), this will be done differently

Install SGML docs in the right places:

	$(datadir)/html for HTML docs
	$(datedir)      for everything else

(our main HTML documentation tree will live in $(datadir)/html now).

Updates

Don't install a SIGFPE handler: this causes us to go into an infinite
loop on a divide by zero on some systems (BSD, but not Linux it
seems).  I don't think we really ought to be ignoring SIGFPE: for
floating point exceptions, the system usually has a way to request
that operations generate exceptional values rather than signals (this
is the required IEEE behaviour), and for integral division we should
really check beforehand for division by zero (we don't yet).

mkMarshalCode implemented for PowerPC

GHCi lib autogeneration for MacOS X

added a missing SymX(__eprintf)
improved handling of local symbols

MacOS X: Make GHCi load frameworks specified in package.conf.
Frameworks specified directly from the command line are still ignored.

Allow Haddock docs to be turned off by setting $(NO_HADDOCK_DOCS) to "YES"
