GHC: The Glasgow Haskell Compiler.

The Glasgow Haskell Compiler is a robust, fully-featured, optimising
compiler for the functional programming language Haskell 98
(http://www.haskell.org). GHC compiles Haskell to either native code
or C. It implements numerous experimental language extensions to
Haskell, including concurrency, a foreign language interface, several
type-system extensions, exceptions, and so on. GHC comes with a
generational garbage collector, a space and time profiler, and a
comprehensive set of libraries.

Log message:
Simply and speed up buildlink3.mk files and processing.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.

Log message:
Fix build with perl 5.10.

As perl 5.6 wont be seen in a pkgsrc context just replace the test for
5.6 with one for 5.10 rather than a more substantial change.

Log message:
Update ghc to 6.8.3.  Thanks to Donn Cave for bugfix patches.

Changes in 6.8.3:
* The arguments to ghc-pkg now understand lists and wildcards, and
  there is a new command ghc-pkg find-module.

* The filename completion in ghci is now more intelligent.

* We now look for GHCi config files in these locations:
    ./.ghci
    $HOME/.ghc/ghci.conf
    $HOME/.ghci

* You can now give multiple -e options to GHC.

* You can now use the -prof and -threaded flags together, although
  you cannot also use +RTS -N2.

* SCC names are no longer allowed to contain spaces, as some of the
  profiling tools break if they do.

* Various changes have been made to GHC's internals, so there are some
  differences in the API exposed by the ghc package. Most notably,
  checkAndLoadModule has now been implemented.
