   * Add a list of deprecated extenstions
   Along with possibly another extension that replaces it.

 Mon Dec  8 17:54:41 GMT 2008  Duncan Coutts <duncan at haskell.org>
   * Check for use of deprecated extensions

   * Fake support for NamedFieldPuns in ghc-6.8
   Implement it in terms of the -XRecordPuns which was accidentally
   added in ghc-6.8 and deprecates in 6.10 in favor of NamedFieldPuns
   So this is for compatability so we can tell package authors always
   to use NamedFieldPuns instead.

 The last patch is also in the Cabal-1.6 branch so will appear in 1.6.0.2.
