[project @ 2001-08-22 10:44:43 by gla]
Reorganized all the sections and rewrote most of the contents.
Now describes the actual implementation, not the implementation strategy, which
was the case in the previous version.
Based on the GHC 5.01, and removed all obsolete parts.

Divides the storage manager into four parts: megablock allocator, block allocator,
heap allocator, and garbage collector.
Gives the details of the garbage collector, which should be sufficient for those
who want to analyze its implementation.
