Fix (read "Infinity") and (read "NaN") for RealFloat types.

fix problem with -fno-code

shut up shortMeOut traces

use qualified names to indicate external status of values

document 31-bit core output option settings

a couple of tweaks to the hc-file-bundle target:
  - Add -r option to ${RM} to blow away an existing binary-dist
    temporary directory if present.
  - Fix bogons in the bundle building code.

foldr is a good consumer (but not necessarily a good producer)

correct off-by-one error in hGetStringBuffer

Fill in details for 5.02.

Make when comparing old and new strictness information,
we were being a bit too generous with the old case.
When a function has (say) arity 2, we can't use strictness
info like SSS, because that only applies if the fn is
applied to 3 args.  So it's an unfair comparison.

This commit makes the old->new conversion function more
truthful in this regard, which should eliminate the
erroneously-claimed "worse" strictness results.

	Another demand analyser glitch
	------------------------------

This fixes, I hope, (in an unsatisfactory way) another demand-analyser
glitch, that resulted in a runtime "entered absent arg" error.

In DmdAnal.annotateLamIdBndr, we now have:

	-- This gross hack is needed because otherwise we label
	-- a lambda binder with demand 'B'.  But in terms of calling
	-- conventions that's Abs, because we don't pass it.  But
	-- when we do a w/w split we get
	--	fw x = (\x y:B -> ...) x (error "oops")
	-- And then the simplifier things the 'B' is a strict demand
	-- and evaluates the (error "oops").  Sigh

The hack zaps 'B' to 'Abs', just like 'lazify' does.

Need to talk to John about what the principled reasons are.

Improve error message for mis-matched contexts

Fix an obscure but easy bug in SpecConstr

- document :info
- bring up to date info about FFI support

Remove unused import of DmdType

First cut at new compiler + interpreter changes for 5.02.  Also rearranged
the order of sections.

Comment only

Improve error message for nullary class

* Added a brief outline of the handling of command line options
* Revised Reuben's explanation re -no-hs-main according to our email exchange

Added SPJ's new -fmax-worker-args to the flag reference

Correct typos and minor errors.
Reorganized most of the sections, and the interface subsection appears first in each section.
Made a small change to Figure 1, the overall architecture of the storage manager.
The description on the configuration of the nursery is now correct.
Added a short section on the state of the heap allocator.

Don't say that GHC doesn't do fixity resolution on the left hand side
of a binding before deciding which symbol is the function symbol.
This has been fixed.

Rephrased a few paragraphs.
Added a paragraph on the interface to retainerSet.
Added 'To do' paragraphs, which may be useful for maintenance.

Fix representation finding for recursive newtypes

Note that support for generics is currently broken.

remove rnsource.hi-boot-5 (part of prev commit)

More instance-gate fiddling.  This must be one of the most
tiremsome bits of the entire compiler, and I appear to be
incapable of modifying it without getting it wrong at least
once.

Still, this commit does tidy things up a bit.

* The type renamers (rnHsType, etc) have moved from RnSource
  into a new module RnTypes.

* This breaks a couple of loops, and lets us nuke RnSource.hi-boot.
  Hurrah!

Release notes updated with library changes since 5.00.2.

include the 5.02 release notes

document -fno-code.

The new InstallShield for Windows Installer installer. I won't nuke the old
IS6 one for now, but expect it to go after the GHC 5.02 release.

The new installer uses the standard Windows Installer system, so should be
easier to migrate away from InstallShield to a more automated system in
future, though that will require the setup to be exported (the .ism format
is proprietary to InstallShield).

Also, the entire setup lives in one file rather than a zillion scattered
over a hierarchy with lots of empty directories and space-including
directory names, so it's rather easier to check out!

Document -fno-code.

On second thoughts, strip either a backslash or a slash, as if we read
an environment variable, we may well get a slash in the path; if we
get a result from GetTempPath, it'll probably have a backslash.

Strip a backslash, not a slash.

Remove no-longer-useful README.  All that's left here now is the GHCi
tests, which aren't ready to be moved over to the new testsuite yet.

remove unused tests.

old tests, most of which seem to have been used during development
rather than as regression tests.

Globally-uniquify the names of some _wrap functions so that the
previously-undetected global namespace clashes don't cause an
assertion failure in Hash.c when compiled -DDEBUG when starting GHCi
with various hslibs packages.

Add a new section, documenting "GHC's take on behaviour that is left
undefined or implementation specific in Haskell 98", and in it
document the size of Int, the behaviour of fromIntegral, and the
behaviour of floating-point exceptions.
