  Modified files:
    ghc/compiler/utils   FastString.lhs StringBuffer.lhs 
  Log:
  Make ghc compilable with itself after the implementation of handle
  IO changed, by changing an ugly mess of #ifdefs and low-level
  ghc-internals-specific kludges into a yet uglier mess with more
  #ifdefs and kludges.
  
  Wouldn't Haskell 98 implementation of a lexer be fast enough? :-)
  
  This won't compile with older versions of ghc-5.01. You may temporarily
  change 501 to 502 in #ifdefs here, or use an older ghc.
  
  The compiler still doesn't work at all when compiled with itself:
  it writes complete nonsense into .hc files.
  
  A remaining error: ghc/lib/std doesn't link PrelHandle_hsc.o into
  libHSstd.a. Function read_wrap is inline but for some reason it's
  needed for linking some programs (e.g. ghc itself).
