  Log:
  Add a basic "front panel" for GHC-compiled programs.
  
  How to use it:
  
  	- re-autoconf & configure to detect GTK+
  
  	- add "GhcRtsWithFrontPanel = YES" to mk/build.mk
  
  	- rebuild the RTS
  
  	- compile up a program, add `gtk-config --libs` to the
  	  link command line
  
  	- run with program with +RTS -f,
  
  	- sit back & watch the show :-)  Programs with lots of
  	  heap-resident data are the most interesting.  For extra
  	  kicks, turn up the number of generations & steps like so:
  	  +RTS -f -G5 -T3.
  
  	- Bootstrap your compiler, and see in glorious technicolor
  	  just how much of a lumbering beast GHC really is.
  
  This is a work in progress.  There's lots more stuff we could display
  on the panel: suggestions/comments are of course welcome.  The window
  layout was designed with GLADE, I'll commit the config file shortly.
  
  I haven't quite figured out how we're going to integrate this with the
  release yet (ie. whether we'll distribute two separate RTS's or what).
