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.

This package provides the 9.6.x release series.

Log message:
ghc96: Build with LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8.

There appear to be a number of UTF-8 issues in ghc, some of which are patched
in this package and the resulting binaries, but there are others that may be
caused by the bootstrap kit.  Package now builds correctly on SunOS.

Log message:
lang/ghc96: Fix Cabal on Darwin trying to install shared libraries having \ 
'@rpath' and fail

Sorry, Darwin users. It's likely that I've been shipping broken GHC on this
platform for so long. I should have done more tests on the platform.
