I'm sure I shouldn't have done this but I did get ndp to build.

1. In libraries/Makefile, I replaced

> SUBDIRS += process pretty hpc template-haskell editline Cabal random haskell98

with

> SUBDIRS += process pretty hpc template-haskell editline Cabal random haskell98 ndp

         ^^^
I suspect I didn't supply the correct build.mk but there weren't any
clues on http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Data_Parallel_Haskell/PackageNDP
 so I therefore used the one suggested on
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Hacking entitled "How
to make GHC build quickly"

2. There was already a hack for ndp so I added my own

I'm guessing if I'd got the right build.mk I wouldn't have needed to do
this.
