Starting GHC development.

[Simon Peyton Jones]

None seem to fail on my (Linux) box. It'd be good if someone felt able to dig into the ones that are failing.  If there is a good reason we should open a ticket and mark them as expect_broken( ticket-number ).  Thanks!

Simon

| AFAIK the official stance is that you should see 0 failures.
