Remove ghc-$(ProjectVersion) from GhcBinDistPrlScripts, since it's not
a perl script any more.

Remove ghc-stats from GhcBinDistLibPrlScripts.

deLam the contents of an _scc_: they don't disappear at code
generation time.

Use ${1+"$@"} instead of "$@". How stupid are those shells.

Use "$@" instead of $* to pass commandline arguments safely.

More documentation rewriting...  I'm particularly proud of the "flag
reference" section, please check it out.

Correct usage info for tryPutMVar#.

VoidRep call/return support for interpreted code.

VoidRep call/return support for the interpreter.

re-order the WithHc and WithGhc tests: now if you specify
--with-ghc=<ghc>, then WithHc also gets <ghc> if you don't set it
explicitly.  Previously it got whatever ghc was in the PATH, which
would fail if there wasn't a ghc in the PATH at all.

changes to support tryPutMVar which I forgot in the main commit.

Remove -l from library name in libraries list (oops!)

simple tryPutMVar test.

Tidy the type we get back from typecheckExpr.

add tryPutMVarzh_fast

- make putMVar block rather than raise an exception when it encounters a
  full MVar (to match the semantics in our recent paper on async excpetions).

- add tryPutMVar, a non-blocking version of putMVar.

Turn off linking under Windows until it's fixed (that's linking, there's no
hope of fixing Windows).

Add winmm to libraries for RTS under Windows, where it's now used for
threadDelay.

Remove inadvertently committed debugging gumph.

Make isDirectory work on Windows (dirent.d_name is a char *, not a char []);
also getDirectoryContents (readdir helpfully sets errno to ENOENT when we've
read the last entry, rather than leaving it at 0).

Windows is *not* the way of the future.

Remove an out-of-date comment and correct a Windows wibble.

PrimOp dependency wibble

Remove support for directly loading .so's/.DLL's from the cmd line
in interactive mode and instead support the -lfooble mechanism.

Show error messages generated from failed .so/.DLL load attempts.

Allow addDLL to return error message strings to caller.

Fix for tail-calling on HP-UX, and a lengthy explanation, thanks to
Andy Bennet <andy_bennet@hp.com>.

add -ldl to SRC_HC_OPTS if GhcWithInterpreter=YES and HaveLibDL=YES.

Fix evalExpr's comment: it's Bool again, not Maybe.

beginnings of a documentation revamp

style nitpicking

Improve detection and rejection of unboxed tuples.

No, please don't pass hsc2hs/Main.hs through cpp :-)
It corrupts __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ in strings (because of string gaps).

I moved the system-dependent thing to KludgedSystem (it should be
named better as it no longer contains only the system function)
so it does not require cpp.

(I keep it in sync with QForeign, which is easier if the same source
can work in both places.)

* Turn off -O when --interactive is engaged.
* Check and abort if --interactive is used together with any non-std Way.

markup fix

Make work again on Windows. Main.hs has to be passed through CPP now.

Main.hs is not passed through cpp, so I moved #ifdefed defaultCompiler
to module KludgedSystem which is passed through cpp.

In interactive mode, pre-load into the runtime linker any .so/.o/.DLL
files specified on the command line.

Remove typos, and NO_LARGE_TUPLES, which was the wrong way round anyway (so
we never had large tuples).

Update tests not to use deprecated features (except that I had to write
Exception.catch everywhere instead of catch for some reason, because ghc
complained that catch was ambiguous (Exception. vs PrelException.).

Also add some cases to make mingwin work.

Make it work on Cygwin. Story of my life.
