cvs commit: hugs98/lib/hugs HugsLibs.hs hugs98/src/unix convert_hslibs hugs98/tests testScript.in

[Alastair David Reid]

[Copied to hugs-bugs in case anyone disagrees with the final
conclusion.  For the baffled, hslibs is the library suite that
ships/shipped with GHC.  Most of the hslib libraries will be included
in the next Hugs release.  The list of libraries can be inferred from
the script hugs98/src/unix/convert_hslibs script of which the relevant
part is included at the end.]

When I went to check this today, I found that Regex isn't currently
part of the Hugs distribution because it needs FFI support and I
haven't bashed on that yet.

Or, to put it another way, I know of no code in the proposed Hugs
distro whose license is incompatible with the Hugs license.  Cool!

The following files and libraries are excluded.  (This list may be
incomplete.)

Reasons for exclusion include: they are programs, they don't work (on
any platform), they require features that Hugs lacks or, at the time
this work was done, they required significant work to make them work.
