They're now fixed to not generate those warnings

We already require GHC 6.8 to build, and that included stripPrefix
in Data.List.

Should fix Solaris build failures

This patch allow you to use "Language CPP", or even "LaNgUaGe CPP",
if you wish, as the manual claims you can.

This fixes the unused imports warning when
    Foo (F(x,y,z))
is imported and
    Foo (F(..))
is exported.

This patch, joint work between and Ian and Simon, fixes Trac #1074
by reporting unused import declarations much more accuratly than 
before.  The specification is described at 

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/UnusedImports

The implementation is both easier to understand than before, and shorter
too.  

Also fixed are #1148, #2267

Also fixed is -ddump-minimal imports, which now works properly, fixing 
Trac #1792.

We cache the old versions of files generated by configure, so that if
configure touches the file without changing it, we can detect that and
restore the timestamp.

The build system should use 'find' and 'sort' that are discovered by
configure, not the ones in your path.  On Windows the ones in your path
might well be the non-Unixy Windows versions.

This patch fixes the ones I tripped over. There may be more.

And add links to the new shared libs section.

Basically just stat that it exists and refer to the ghc dev wiki
for the details, because we don't really want people using it.

e.g.

  cd compiler
  make FAST=YES stage1/build/HscTypes.o

builds just the specified .o file, without rebuilding dependencies,
and omitting some of the makefile phases.  FAST=YES works anywhere, to
omit depenencies and phases.  'make fast' is shorthand for 'make
all FAST=YES'.

The type in a ViewPat wasn't being zonked.  Easily fixed.
