[Remove redundant imports of GHC.Err
simonpj@microsoft.com**20080104091314
 
 GHC.Base SOURCE-imports GHC.Err, and re-exports 'error'.  So 
 other modules need only import GHC.Base.
 
 This doesn't change the fact that these other modules are all compiled
 before GHC.Err, so they are all part of the module loop that starts with
 GHC.Base and finishes with GHC.Err.  But it does reduce the occurrence
 of those SOURCE imports.

[Move file locking into the RTS, fixing #629, #1109
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071120121053
 File locking (of the Haskell 98 variety) was previously done using a
 static table with linear search, which had two problems: the array had
 a fixed size and was sometimes too small (#1109), and performance of
 lockFile/unlockFile was suboptimal due to the linear search.
 Also the algorithm failed to count readers as required by Haskell 98
 (#629).
 
 Now it's done using a hash table (provided by the RTS).  Furthermore I
 avoided the extra fstat() for every open file by passing the dev_t and
 ino_t into lockFile.  This and the improvements to the locking
 algorithm result in a healthy 20% or so performance increase for
 opening/closing files (see openFile008 test).

[Fix performance regression: re-instate -funbox-strict-fields
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071029150730
 Yikes!  While investigating the increase in code size with GHC 6.8
 relative to 6.6, I noticed that in the transition to Cabal for the
 libraries we lost -funbox-strict-fields, which is more or less
 depended on by the IO library for performance.  I'm astonished that we
 didn't notice this earlier!
 
 To reduce the chances of this happening again, I put
 -funbox-strict-fields in the OPTIONS_GHC pragma of the modules that
 need it.  {-# UNPACK #-} pragmas would be better, though.
