	The network library moved from hslibs/net to libraries/network after
	version 5.02.x.  libraries/network/Network/Socket.hsc is what used to be
	hslibs/net/SocketPrim.hsc.  The contents of hslibs/net is now just stubs
	that re-export the new libraries, so someone using the old interface
	still gets the same stuff.

Ok but in that case the revisions and branches reported by cvs stat seem to be
different than those in the web page. For example, cvs stat reports 
ghc-5-02-2 as revision 1.12.2.4 but the web page only has a revision 1.12.
How do the web pages tie up with what you get from cvs checkout?

	The building guide is the right place to look.
