Test Suite's Dependency on Quickcheck

[Brian Smith]

If you build GHC with just the default settings, QuickCheck doesn't get
pulled from Darcs and it is thus not built and installed into ghc-inplace.
Because of this, many of the tests in the test suite fail:

SampleVar001
Chan001
MVar001
QSemN001
QSem001
bytestring001
bytestring004
bytestring005

I think that the test suite should run without errors by default. What is
the best way to deal with this situation? Probably the easiest thing to do
would be to include QuickCheck as a "core package" as defined in the thread
"Packages in GHC 6.6." Then QuickCheck would need to be copied into the
ghc-6.6 branch. Thoughts?
