- don't omit "test" dirs from the source distribution
- remove some backslashes from the sed commands to make them work here

Fix the "find" commands we use to build a source distribution.
Previously, it said things like "-exec path/{}", which doesn't work
on many find's ({} really should only appear by itself in an argument).
Now we pipe the output of find -print to sed and then to sh.  I hope
the piping to sh doesn't break source distribution creation on Win32.

MERGE TO STABLE

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.

oops, cut-n-paste removed tabs

The hc-file bundle should contain the .hs files generated from .hsc
files because of a chicken-egg problem with building hsc2hs.

- add missing .gz suffix to -hc.tar file.
- clean up hc-bundle droppings

Add a rule to build an hc-file tar bundle.

Makefile.config should be in a source dist.

never delete configure, even for maintainer-clean.

merge revision 1.52.2.1

Don't forget to copy mk/bootstrap.mk into the source distrib tree.

Automatically re-generate and re-run configure as necessary.  This
seems to be a reasonable thing to do, and it should eliminate a large
class of "I ran cvs update and now I get this strange error" type of
reports.

If anyone can remember why this might not be a good idea (I vaguely
remember there being some reason but it escapes me now), please pipe
up.

set SUBDIRS from ProjectsToBuild (as suggested by Marcin).

Fix up make-inplace for binary distribs.

Clean up the post-install-script mechanism a bit, so that the script
for project is <project>/mk/post-install-script.

For project ghc, don't install pkgconf unless BIN_DIST=1.

re-enable binary-dist building, and inject PACKAGE_LINKS into Makefile.bin

Changes to support bootstrapping the compiler from .hc files.  It's
not quite working yet, but it's not far off.

  - the biggest change is that any injected #includes are now placed in
    the .hc file at generation time, rather than compilation time.  I
    can't see any reason not to do this - it makes it clear by looking at
    the .hc file which files are being #included, it means one less
    temporary file at compilation time, and it means the .hc file is more
    standalone.

  - all the gruesomeness is in mk/bootstrap.mk, which handles building
    .hc files without a ghc driver.

Don't create an installation-time Makefile (target binary-dist).

Don't use /tmp.

Change the way the top-level Makefile works, now that we have a
dependency between ghc and hslibs which means that you can't `make
boot' in hslibs until you've done `make all' in ghc.

  - now you just type `make all' at the top-level, and the makefile
    arranges to do `make boot all' in each of the subdirectories.
    Typing `make boot' at the top-level now yields a message explaining
    what's going on.

  - Now it's no longer necessary to set $(ProjectsToBuild).  If you don't
    set it, the build system attempts to build all the projects in
    the source tree, in the order determined by $(AllProjects) in
    config.mk.  I've been meaning to fix this for ages, since it meant
    that one had to hand-edit config.mk.in when making a distribution
    for anything other than GHC - this is no longer the case.

    You still *can* set ProjectsToBuild if you want to, however.

  - ProjectsToInstall has been replaced by ProjectsDontInstall, and
    has the obvious, reverse, meaning.  It also has a reasonable default,
    so the need to set it should be rare.

All this has the obvious benefit that to build GHC you need one fewer
commands (no more `make boot'), and anyone that has "./configure &&
make && make install" hardwired into their brains will feel right at
home.

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.
