-This is version 0.20 of the Glorious Glasgow Haskell compilation
-system (GHC).
-
-Version 0.20 is an "internal" release, intended *ONLY* for the most
-fanatical GHC hackers.
-
-* Many things about it may be broken, though it
-does compile and run most programs.
-
-* I/O and ccall scheme re-done; any such low-level code probably needs
- fixing; I/O attempts to follow 1.3 I/O proposal. All ccall
- arguments and results are automagically "boxed".
-
-* PrimOps fiddled; any code that uses them directly will probably need
- attention.
-
-* We've renamed some things, so as to move to a we-don't-steal-user-
- name-space policy. Thus "tagCmp" has become "_tagCmp". Names starting
- with underscores are now cool if -fglasgow-exts.
-
- You might want to see our "state-interface" document if you mess
- with all this low-level/non-standard stuff; I'll try to remember to
- put a copy up for FTP.
-
-* No promises about profiling.
-
-* Documentation is untouched since 0.19.
-
-Version 0.19 was the last public release. It has held up pretty well
-and should be available wherever you got 0.20 from. I commend 0.19 to
-all sane people.
-
-Configuring 0.20 is a little different than 0.19:
-
- % cd <very-top>
- % ./configure --with-boot=c
- % ./STARTUP-ghc std
- % cd ghc; make
-
-Things to note:
-
-* It's wrong for jmake to tell you "0: unknown flag -traditional"; but
- it is harmless.
-
-* The 0.20 compiler seems more likely to run out of stack; use
- -Rmax-stksize2m (or something) to increase; within the distribution,
- probably something like...
-
- % make EXTRA_HC_OPTS="-H20m -Rmax-stksize4m"
-
-See the "configure" script if you want to know what other options are
--- there is no other documentation at this time!
