This lifts the MAX_PATH restrictions from Haskell programs and makes the new limit ~32k. There are only some slight caveats that have been documented. Some utilities have not been upgraded such as lndir, since all these things are different cabal packages I have been forced to copy the source in different places which is less than ideal. But it's the only way to keep sdist working.
