Having multiple modules under the Prelude makes it possible to share
more with the hierarchical libraries.  I was using the Prelude out of
fptools/libraries/base, so at startup Hugs loads
{Hugs}/libraries/Hugs/Base.hs
...dozen modules deleted..
...
{Hugs}/libraries/Prelude.hs
That also makes it possible to cut about 100 lines from Hugs.Base, and
remove some #ifndef __HUGS__ stuff from fptools/libraries.
..forcing all users to pay for this very slight internal improvement by way
of increased startup times each time Hugs is loaded. Didn't/doesn't look
like a Win to me.
Yes, It is slower.  Some times for hugs
