"Auto" packages.

The big change here is that it is no longer necessary to explicitly
say '-package X' on the command line if X is a package containing
hierarchical Haskell modules.  All packages marked "auto" contribute
to the import path, so their modules are always available.  At link
time, the compiler knows which packages are actually used by the
program, and it links in only those libraries needed.

There's one exception: one-shot linking.  If you link a program using

    ghc -o prog A.o B.o ...

then you need to explicitly add -package flags for each package
required (except base & haskell98) because the compiler has no
information about the package dependencies in this case.

Package configs have a new field: auto, which is either True or False.
Non-auto packages must be mentioned on the command-line as usual.
Non-auto packages are still required for:

  - non-hierarchical libraries (to avoid polluting the module namespace)

  - packages with no Haskell content

  - if you want more than one version of a package, or packages
    providing overlapping functionality where the user must decide
    which one to use.

Changes to the exception interface, as discussed on the libraries list.

1) Move bracket and bracket_ from GHC.Exception (and hence System.IO)
   to haskell98/IO.hs.  These two should now never be used (except in
   all-H98 programs), and this will save users of the new libraries from
   having to hide them.  Use the ones in Control.Exception instead.

2) Define

        type IOError = IOException      -- was Exception

   leaving the type of Prelude.ioError as IOError -> IO a,
   but adding to Control.Exception

        throwIO :: Exception -> IO a

The result is a type distinction between the variants of catch and try:

Prelude.catch           :: IO a -> (IOError -> IO a) -> IO a
Control.Exception.catch :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a
System.IO.Error.try     :: IO a -> IO (Either IOError a)
Control.Exception.try   :: IO a -> IO (Either Exception a)

These are breaking changes: the first one affects only import lists,
but the second will bite in the following situations:

- using ioError on general Exceptions: use throwIO instead.

- using throw on IOErrors: if in the IO monad, use ioError instead.
  Otherwise, use throw (IOException e), but why are you throwing
  IO exceptions outside of the IO monad?

Minor changes:
- System.IO.Error now exports catch and try
- moved try from GHC.Exception to System.IO.Error, because it's
  portable and can be shared by Hugs.

can make out has been there for ever.  Presumably no-one uses this
abstraction...

The bug is that waitQSemN would discard any other blocked threads
(presumably waiting for a larger chunk of the semaphore) if it
succeeds.

It still looks to me like the quantity semaphores in here can suffer
from starvation: if one thread requests a large chunk, while lots of
other threads are requesting smaller chunks, then the thread
requesting the large chunk might never get to run.  I'm sure this must
be a well-known problem.

The MonadRec.hs library, stolen from the Hugs release.

      names. (Note that this duplication also exists in the current
      release of Hugs as well.) For the time being, this file helps
      keep things simple with regard to the already existing code
      that uses the mdo-notation.. (i.e., it also defines instances
      for the LazyST, ST, and list monads in addition
      to the ones defined in Fix.hs: IO and maybe.)

We can also name this file just "Rec", but "MonadRec" sounds less
confusing, and more inline with the Hugs release.

Re-instate the checking for the values of errno constants at configure
time.  The problem with doing it using foreign calls is simply that
this tickles a bad case in the code gen machinery, which in this case
results in an extra 10-20k of goop ending up in pretty much every
binary, and it impacts GC performance too.

This has some portability implications, but the situation is no worse
than before.  To reliably cross-compile for a new platform you need to
build a set of .hc files for the libraries using a config.h generated on

cross-compilation story, but that's another thing on the todo list...)

compiler.  Additionally to build GHCi, the 'readline' and 'unix'
packages will be required.

The new POSIX library lives mostly in libraries/unix, with a few bits
required for compiler bootstrapping in libraries/base.  The 'base'
package is mostly free of hsc2hs code to make bootstrapping from HC
files easier, but the 'unix' package will use hsc2hs liberally.

The old POSIX library continues to provide more-or-less the same
interface as before, although some of the types are more correct now
(previously lots of POSIX types were just mapped to Int).  The new
interface is largely the same as the old, except that some new
functionality from the latest POSIX spec has been added (eg. symbolic
links).

So far, the new POSIX library has signal support, directory/file
operations and lots of stuff from unistd.h.  The module names are:

  System.Posix
The main dude, exports everything

  System.Posix.Types
All the POSIX types, using the same naming scheme as
        Foreign.C.Types, Eg. CUid, COff, etc.  Many of these types
        were previously exported by GHC.Posix.

        Additionally exports the "nicer" names used by the old POSIX
library for compatibility (eg. ProcessID == CPid, FileMode ==
CMode, etc.)

All reasonable instances are derived for these types.

  System.Posix.Signals
Signal support, contains most of which was in PosixProcPrim before.
The RTS interface to the signal handling support has been
rationalised slightly.

  System.Posix.Directory
  Directory support, most were in PosixFiles before.

  System.Posix.Files
File operations, most were in PosixFiles before.

  System.Posix.Unistd
(for want of a better name) Miscellaneous bits that mostly come
from the unistd.h header file.  PosixProcEnv before.

The rest of the library should pan out like so:

  System.Posix.IO
  System.Posix.Error   (maybe)
  System.Posix.Process
  System.Posix.Terminal

(I've no doubt broken Win32 support, but I'm checking the build at the moment).
