* Pursuant to Cabal ticket #850. Fix for "C" headers specified with
includes: which are actually ObjectiveC headers (or some other
dialect). Works by asking the C compiler which source files include
which headers, then inferring the dialects of those source files from
their filenames, combining the resulting dialects for each header with
a monoid, and mapping the final dialect back onto a filename extension
for the dummy file to be used in the foreign-library tests.

* One-line fix to the prior patch for ticket #850; I had omitted a
case in my declaration for the Monoid CDialect instance.
Sat May 28 08:30:22 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* Pursuant to ticket #504, expand the check for a known extension on
the file provided to main-is: to also allow known C-language
extensions. This uses my Distribution.Simple.CCompiler from the
ticket #850 patch so that the information on known extensions isn't
duplicated. The ticket #504 discussion suggests that ghc needs
-no-hs-main in this situation, but that appears to no longer be the
case; also see discussion on GHC ticket #2459. There might still be
an issue if the entry point is WinMain() instead of main(), but I'm
not really set up to test that.

* Change to my earlier patch for ticket #504, executables with a C
main function. I swear this worked for me in my test case, but I
found that it doesn't work now, and I can't see how it ever did. The
issue is that, when looking for the source file, the new C extensions
weren't known so it didn't come up. I added knowledge about them by
making Distribution.Simple.PreProcess depend on
Distribution.Simple.CCompiler.
Sat May 28 20:56:14 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* Enhancement as requested by my ticket #851: a c-source-dirs field
in BuildInfo. Implemented for configure, build, and sdist, which
should be everything.
Sat May 28 22:06:06 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* My fix for #851 actually broke my earlier fix for #850; this patch
corrects things so they play nice together.
Sun May 29 04:55:44 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* Fix the regression described in #852 and caused by my patch for #850.
Sun May 29 21:23:50 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* Changes to handle building C source after Haskell source when
making mixed-language executables, pursuant to ticket #852, so that C
source can include *_stub.h files which are generated by the Haskell
compilation. (This should already work in the library case.) Since
ghc --make can't by itself infer the modules that need to be built
when it's passed a .c file, we need to tell it.
Tue May 31 04:43:24 EDT 2011 Dan Knapp
* Fix for ticket #853, passing the appropriate ObjC-GC flag to ghc
and gcc when it's needed, based on a new BuildInfo field objc-gc: with
the values Disabled (passes nothing), Optional, and Mandatory.
