Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.

Correct a couple of things: WHNF closures can be partial applications
as well as constructors.

A major rewrite/reorganisation.
New material on bytecodes.
Deleted some of the really out of date stuff about the old system
(You might have to checkout the previous revision if you need
historical info.)
I have not merged the sections on TSOs and Stacks.
SimonM has a clearer idea of what the TSO status words look like and
I think he said he'd written a new section with stacks part of TSOs.

Improved glossary/terminology at start - added unpointed and unboxed.
Created a section at start to describe the source language. At the moment,
all it contains is a description of unboxed tuple constructors.
Replaced erroneous uses of "closure" with "heap object". According to
the glossary, closures are enterable - things like stack objects
are not enterable so they can't be closures.
Clarified section 2.7 (heap and stack checks): why should we not move Hp
during heap check?
Added comment that I don't believe in the notion of fixed headers.

Latest batch of changes. Merge SRT and Tag fields in the info table,
now that there isn't a bytecode pointer there.
