Mac OS X 10.9 mkdir is apparently stricter than the Mac OS X 10.8
mkdir about which paths are considered valid arguments. For example,
in a typical build on Mac OS X 10.9, the first of the following
invocations of mkdirhier.sh will succeed but the second will fail:
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" utils/ghc-cabal/dist/build/tmp//. # WORKS
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" bootstrapping/. # FAILS
Simply prefixing the path arguments with "./" causes both to succeed:
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" ./utils/ghc-cabal/dist/build/tmp//. # WORKS
"inplace/bin/mkdirhier" ./bootstrapping/. # WORKS
Testing indicates failure on paths satisfying all of these criteria:
- path is suffixed with "/."
- path is only 1 level deep (e.g., "foo/."; _not_ "foo/bar/.")
- path is _not_ prefixed with "./"
This workaround prefixes "./" to the path argument passed to mkdir.

The old shell code apparently didn't work properly with /bin/sh=dash

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.
