  Log:
  * Added the options `-ffi' and `-fffi', which switch on FFI support
    (`-fglasgow-exts' implies `-fffi').
  
    NB: Strictly speaking `-fffi' is the correct name; however, `-ffi' is
        supported as an alternative spelling.
  
  * `-fglasgow-exts' no longer enables the `with' keyword for implicit
    parameters.  To use `with' as a keyword, the additional option `-fwith' has
    to be supplied.  (Note that SimonM recently enabled the use of `let' instead
    of `with'.)
  
    NB: This might prompt some makefile tweaks in libraries or regression tests.
  
  * Renamed `Foreign.Marshal.Utils.withObject' to `Foreign.Marshal.Utils.with'
    as required by the FFI Addendum.  (The old name is still available, but
    marked as deprecated.)
  
  * Added `realloc' to `Foreign.Marshal.Alloc' (tracking RC4 of the FFI
    Addendum).
  
  Docu
  ~~~~
  * Added `-ffi', `-fffi', and `-fwith' to the flag reference and the section
    describing options for Glasgow extensions
  
  * Removed most of the FFI section in the User's Guide in favour of a reference
    to the Addendum plus a brief description of additional features supported by
    GHC.
  
    NB: The old material is still available at fptools/docs/, I merely removed
    the reference in the User's Guide.
