Adding (some) libraries to a GHC tree

[Mitchell, Neil]

Hi

The paragraph in the new page is better than the old one, but it makes
sense to have the information in only one place. When looking for the
information "getting the sources" didn't occur to me as a description of
how to get any extra libraries (although on reflection, I'm surprised I
didn't try it).

Thanks

Neil
