And GHC is now usable from the new darcs setup.  I've updated the
instructions on the wiki:

   http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/GhcDarcs

All of the packages are sync'd from CVS except for Cabal - it seemed
more sensible to use the existing Cabal repo directly.  However I've
taken a branch of that Cabal repo to add the fptools Makefiles for now;
the branch is in http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/Cabal .

I added a script darcs-all at the top-level of the ghc tree which
automates invoking darcs on the various sub-repos.  To get a whole tree,
do this:

   $ darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc
   $ cd ghc
   $ chmod +x ./darcs-all
   $ ./darcs-all get

and to pull new changes:

   $ ./darcs-all pull

Please test, as we'd like to switch over as soon as possible.

Cheers,
        Simon
