This patch should have no effect; it's mainly comments, layout,
plus this contructor name change.

This patch implements pointer tagging as per our ICFP'07 paper "Faster
laziness using dynamic pointer tagging". It improves performance by
10-15% for most workloads, including GHC itself.
The original patches were by Alexey Rodriguez Yakushev
<mrchebas@gmail.com>, with additions and improvements by me. I've
re-recorded the development as a single patch.
The basic idea is this: we use the low 2 bits of a pointer to a heap
object (3 bits on a 64-bit architecture) to encode some information
about the object pointed to. For a constructor, we encode the "tag"
of the constructor (e.g. True vs. False), for a function closure its
arity. This enables some decisions to be made without dereferencing
the pointer, which speeds up some common operations. In particular it
enables us to avoid costly indirect jumps in many cases.

This version should compile but is still incomplete as it introduces
potential bugs at the places marked 'TODO FIXME NOW'.
It is being recorded to help keep track of changes.

This patch is a start on removing import lists and generally tidying
up the top of each module. In addition to removing import lists:
- Change DATA.IOREF -> Data.IORef etc.
- Change List -> Data.List etc.
- Remove $Id$
- Update copyrights
- Re-order imports to put non-GHC imports last
- Remove some unused and duplicate imports

Most of the other users of the fptools build system have migrated to
Cabal, and with the move to darcs we can now flatten the source tree
without losing history, so here goes.
The main change is that the ghc/ subdir is gone, and most of what it
contained is now at the top level. The build system now makes no
pretense at being multi-project, it is just the GHC build system.
No doubt this will break many things, and there will be a period of
instability while we fix the dependencies. A straightforward build
should work, but I haven't yet fixed binary/source distributions.
Changes to the Building Guide will follow, too.
