Adding (some) libraries to a GHC tree

[Donnie Jones]

Hello Simon,

I agree that this page has a major overlap.  I myself added additional
libraries recently (time and parallel packages to libraries for GHC RTS
parallel profiling testing), and it would have been helpful to have the
information from AddingLibsToBuild page.  At first, I assumed that additonal
libraries would be grabbed like nofib and testsuite with "./darcs-all
--testsuite get"; afterwards I did the same as Jost suggested using "darcs
get http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/<name>".

Combining these two pages would decrease overlap and provide clarification,
in my opinion.
