help understanding the validate_build_xhtml failure of ./validate for my CPP patch

[Carter Schonwald]

I figured it out!

theres a mini configure.ac generated by distrib/configure.ac.in thats used
to setup the ghc settings file at install time!

https://github.com/cartazio/ghc/tree/cpp_silly-contrib-configure-in is my
current set of patches, though it needs some rebasing, cleanup, and code
review etcetc,

will update the (admittedly too long )  trac ticket with this info
