Core package: attempt #1

Cool. The one thing that worries my slightly is that HugsCore.Bool
imports Prelude, and surely Prelude will end up importing
HugsCore.Bool at some point? It seems that Core needs to not depend on
Prelude, so that the Prelude itself can be written in a cross-compiler
friendly way.

As soon as you have a darcs repo and can make some headway towards
compiling base, the Yhc team will submit an appropriate CoreYhc.

Thanks
