Ticket #250: dump_interface_for_Execs_too.dpatch

New patches:

[Simple.Haddock: always dump the haddock interface otherwise install/copy will fail
Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato@unibz.it>**20080227113126
 When running "haddock --executables" no haddock interface is dumped.
 As a consequence the successive "runhaskell Setup.hs install" or
 "runhaskell Setup.hs copy --destdir=/path" will fail with this error
 message:
 Setup.lhs: dist/doc/html/pkgid/pkgid.haddock: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

[Don't yet treat package registration files as UTF8
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080227020734
 Though we'll probably need to do so eventually because they contain many of
 the same fields as the .cabal files which are UTF8. This will need agreement
 with ghc-pkg.

[Read captured process output as text
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080227020115
 So we get windows cr/lf conversion and don't need a special lines'
 implementation to deal with it. I'm guessing this is the problem that
 Satoshi Kodama encountered with ghc-6.9 on Windows.

 needs to be done differently.

[Revert some of the UTF8 changes, use UTF8 only for files we know are UTF8
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080227014549
 So we use ordinary read/writeFile for ordinary text files. For console
 output we use ordinary putStr etc and we'll just hope that haskell
 implementations catch up and deal with that sensibly. Don't assume
 captured program output is UTF8, use the default encoding.
 So we use binary mode IO along with UTF8 encoding and decoding only for 
 file types that we specify to be UTF8, which are .cabal files and
 .hs/.lhs files only.

[Add liftOption for making derived command parsers
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080226200215
 liftOption :: (b -> a) -> (a -> (b -> b)) -> Option a -> Option b
 For example:
 liftOption fst (\a (_,b) -> (a,b)) :: Option a -> Option (a,b)
 Needed to be able to make a CommandUI (a, b) using an existing CommandUI a.
 That's what we want to do in cabal-install where the 'install' command
 to support all the 'configure' flags and some extra of it's own, for example
 --dry-run and probably several more in future.

[GHC's package db files are actually ascii, not UTF8
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080225133255
 Because they're in Haskell Read/Show format which escapes non-ascii chars
 in Strings.
] 
[Check for invalid UTF8 when parsing .cabal files
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080225132824
 This assumes a permissive UTF8 decoder has inserted '\xfffd' as a replacement
 character. We should check strictly for errors when we decode instead, though
 it's nice to do that where we have some kind of error reporting infrastructure
 which is why I've added it to the parser for the moment. The current error
 message is not too bad, as it reports the line number.

Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080225130228

 The whole concept of public domain as a license is also rather dodgy. In
 many legal jurisdictions it has no legal meaning and where it does one
 usually has to disclaim any copyright interest explicitly.

[Use the InstalledPackageIndex rather than calling ghc-pkg in Haddock module
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080219125050
 Previously we made two calls to ghc-pkg per-dependent package which starts
 to get very slow once you have 100's of installed packages and the package
 you're building depends on several of them. Now we use the cached information
 about the installed packages. Also refactored the code to generate the haddock
 package flags so we can export it and use it elsewhere more easily.

[Detect broken and inconsistent package deps
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080219000139
 We now check for packages that are broken due to their dependencies having

 We also check for inconsistent dependencies and give a warning saying which
 packages are depending on inconsistent versions of a third. This is a warning
 not an error because it does not always lead to failure. Hopefully it'll help
 people who are otherwise just running into random compile errors.

[Find original sources for main-is when creating sdist
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20080131114909
 Also add a package sanity check that main-is must specify a .hs or .lhs file.
 So the bahaviour is now that main-is specifies the main source file, even if
 that is generated by a pre-processor. This isn't really a change in behaviour
 since previously if you specified main-is: main.hsc then it would try to
 pass the .hsc file to ghc dirctly which would not work. For ticket #14 things
 were fixed to that it would look for main.hsc if you used main-is: main.hs an
 that file did not exist directy. This completes the other half, of actually
 being able to make a src distribution. So this should fix bug #217.
 Note that this still needs some work, we do not run platform-independent
 preprocessors and put the result into the tarball for main-is files.
 Generally, main-is has been the second class citizen compared to normal
 modules. We should try and refactor so both use the same code paths.

 Previously --user and --global didn't mean what it looks like they mean,

 register in the per-user or global package databases (and to allow
 dependencies to be satisfied from the per-user or global db)
 With this patch --user / --global means to do a per-user or global install
 so in addition to the package db differences it also sets the default 
 installation prefix. This prefix can of course still be overridden using the
 --prefix= flag. The global prefix is as before, the default per-user prefix
 is $HOME/.cabal on Unix and on Windows it's something like:
 C:/Documents And Settings/$user/Application Data/cabal
 (using getAppUserDataDirectory "cabal"). This is the per-user prefix that
 cabal-install currently uses. We can change it if people think it's not good.

[Refuse to run any commands if the .cabal has been modified
Simon Marlow <simonmar@microsoft.com>**20071023093111
 See GHC bug #1372
 This is a consistency check, intended to prevent this class of build
 failures:
 
    * Package P is updated, its version number is bumped, the
      new version is compiled and installed.
 
    * Package Q depends on P.  Q is modified to use the new P, and Q's
      .cabal file is updated with changes to the build-depends field to
      depend on the new version of P.
 
    * The user has an old build of Q.  They pull the changes to Q and
      'setup build' without cleaning or re-configuring.  Build errors
      ensue, because the code of Q depends on changes to P's API, and
      we're still building against the old P.
 
 Note that you can't get segfaults this way, only build errors.
 
 This also relies on some new consistency checking in GHC 6.8 to work
 properly.  If the user re-configures their Q build and then issues
 'setup build' without cleaning, GHC must now realise that the package
 flags have changed, and re-compile all the affected Q modules.  GHC
 6.6 would not do this, but 6.8 does.

 This is a hack.
 What we should do longer term is make hsc2hs always use gcc as it's C compiler

 to pass on the appropriate flags to gcc.

[Change the handling of cpp & ghc flags for hsc2hs
Duncan Coutts <duncan@haskell.org>**20071016231652
 The hsc2hs that comes with ghc uses ghc as the C compiler. This means we must
 escape the real cc flags. It also means we can ask ghc to add extra include
 dirs that we might need to find includes of dependent packages. This is a bit
 of a hack. In the longer term it'd be better for Cabal to collect the include
 dirs and cc options of dependent packages and to pass them explicitly itself.

 In ghc-6.6 the Foo/Bar.hc files only #include "Bar_stub.h" rather than
 #include "Foo/Bar_stub.h". This means when we set the stubdir so that the
 _stub.h files don't sit next to the .hs file then the include search path
 is not right to find the _stub.h file. In ghc-6.8 this is fixed so that
 it adds the -stubdir path to the include search path when calling gcc.
