* There now is full support for building Haskell packages as shared libraries
for GHC versions 7.4.2 or later. The Cabal builder recognizes the following
attributes:
- enableSharedLibraries configures Cabal to build of shared libraries in
addition to static ones. This option requires that all dependencies of
the package have been compiled for use in shared libraries, too.
- enableSharedExecutables configures Cabal to prefer shared libraries when
linking executables.
The default values for these attributes are arguments to the haskellPackages
expression.
* Haskell builds now run in a LANG="en_US.UTF-8" environment to avoid plenty
of build and test suite errors. Without this setting, GHC seems unable to
deal with the UTF-8 character encoding that's generally considered standard
in the Haskell world.
* The Cabal builder supports a new attribute 'testTarget' to specify the exact
set of tests to be run during the check phase.
* The ghc-wrapper attribute ghcVersion has been removed. Instead, we use the
ghc.version attribute, which exists in unwrapped GHC derivations, too.
By now, it happened twice that a commit broke GHC and thus all Haskell packages
we have in Nixpkgs. On such an occasion, I receive well in excess of 3000
notification e-mails from Hydra, and then I receive another 3000 e-mails after
the bug has been fixed. Under these circumstances, subscribing to these
notifications makes no sense for me.

Several changes, some highlights:
* Structure of haskell-packages.nix updated. It's now easier to
select different default versions of packages for different
versions of GHC.
* GHC 7.0.2 is now default.
* Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.0 has been added and is now default.
* Several packages have been updated
(gtk2hs, gitit, xmonad, darcs, ...).
* Some old packages have been removed.

Haddock calls directly into ghclib by passing our carefully crafted ghc-wrapper.
This means that haddock needs to be wrapped itself, which this patch does.

(both only work with ghc-6.8.2, not ghc-6.8.3)
* added haddock-0.9 as a version that compiles with
nearly all ghc's we have
* added haddock-0.9-boot the works with ghc-6.4.2-boot
* the haddock-0.9-boot is now used to generate library
documentation while building ghc-6.8.3
