Change the way source distributions are built.

Now we do a 'make boot', 'make distclean', build a link tree to filter
some files out (eg. .cvsignore), and finally tar up the result.  The
process isn't bulletproof, so it makes sense to compare the manifest
against previous versions.

Now you don't have to be in a linked build tree to make a source
distribution.

Fix for copying html documentation into a binary dist.

Take the README for a binary dist from the project directory, not fptools.

doc-building fix.

Add configure target to detect when autoconf needs to be run.

Fairly grotesque hacks to get the HTML docs, which are now generated
into a subdirectory by db2html, into a binary dist.

Fix documentation installing in a binary dist.

GHC versions are now of the form AA.BB.C, where AA is the major
version, BB is the minor version, and C is the patchlevel.

Part of this commit accidentally ended up in an earlier commit to
fptools/ghc/mk/version.mk, which contains some comments on the version
rationale.  Excerpt:

# ProjectVersionInt does *not* contain the patchlevel (rationale: this
# figure is used for conditional compilations, and library interfaces
# etc. are not supposed to change between patchlevels).

i.e. a patchlevel is for bugfixes only, no new features or
interface-changing changes.  Unfortunately, we made this mistake in
4.04pl1, and won't be making it again.

Build System Cleanup
--------------------

This commit is intended to clear the way for automatic RPM building.
In particular, the idea is that 'make install' doesn't build anything,
so you can do

	make install prefix=/some/tmp/prefix

to install everything in /some/tmp/prefix, but leave the hardwired-in
install directories the same.

For scripts that depend on the install dir (currently just the GHC
driver and mkdependHS), we now build two versions: <script>-inplace,
which is used for running the script from the build tree, and
<script>, which is the to-be-installed version.

NOTE: binary distributions are now a little bit trickier to build.
You *must* include the line "BIN_DIST=1" in your build.mk if you
intend to make a binary distribution from the current build tree.
This is because certain scripts have to be built differently, and we
don't rebuild them when doing 'make binary-dist' anymore (since 'make
binary-dist' just does a 'make install' with a re-targetted prefix,
just like the RPM builder).

Other changes

	- the binary-dist machinery is now all in fptools/Makefile
	- removed a gratuitous $(package)-$(version) level of
	  directories from the binary distribution.
	- binary distributions are now placed under the package
	  name, rather than fptools/fptools.
	- various other minor cleanups.

distribution for either Happy or Ghc (or various other projects when
these are set up).

replace a few ';' with '&&' so that failures in for-loops bomb out
properly.

back out part of last commit, it didn't take into account executable
files.

Added aclocal.m4 to binary distrib; ensure that group write bit is on for all toplevel binary distrib files

Replace $(ProjectVersion) with $(GhcProjectVersion) where appropriate.

Also add stuff to install happy in a binary distribution.

uncomment creation of 'configure' in binary-dist.
