   * Add util rewriteFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
   Write a file but only if it would have new content.
   If we would be writing the same as the existing content
   then leave the file as is so that we do not update the
   file's modification time.

 <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Move Paths_pkgname and cabal_macros.h generation into their own
 modules
