New: (try 2) lang/ghc + ghc-doc, happy, haddock

[dons@cse.unsw.edu.au (Donald Bruce Stewart)]

Hi,

Here is attempt 2 at a port for the four basic Haskell tools:

        1) ghc    : the Glasgow Haskell Compiler
        2) ghc-doc: documentation for the compiler and libs
        3) happy  : the Happy Haskell parser
        4) haddock: a Haskell src documentation tool

The differences between this and version 1 are all in the ghc
port: 
        * It now builds entirely via source, as suggested on this
        list, rather than with x86 bootstrap bins. This should
        enable sparc builds, although this in untested

        * A bug in the build process on low-mem machines is
        fixed

        * A typo in the MASTER_SITES is fixed.

        * and some unused clutter in the build process is gone

        * Full compiler regress tests have been run, though are
        not yet in the port src itself (it takes around 15 hours
        on a fast x86).

The ports have been tested on a -current machine from 3 days ago,
and have been successfully installed on 3 different recent
-current machines.

Testing and comments please!

Ciao,
   Don Stewart
