Description
This is the entry point to actually building the modules in a package. It doesn't actually do much itself, most of the work is delegated to compiler-specific actions. It does do some non-compiler specific bits like running pre-processors.
- build :: PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> BuildFlags -> [PPSuffixHandler] -> IO ()
 - repl :: PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> ReplFlags -> [PPSuffixHandler] -> [String] -> IO ()
 - startInterpreter :: Verbosity -> ProgramDb -> Compiler -> PackageDBStack -> IO ()
 - initialBuildSteps :: FilePath -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> Verbosity -> IO ()
 - writeAutogenFiles :: Verbosity -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ()
