hppa/HPUX registerised port of GHC 6.6.1 available

[Peter Tanski]

This is a real feat!  Right on!

It's too bad neither Make nor ghc can handle building in parallel, at  
least when ghc is not threaded.

Maybe someone could merge this for the repository, or set it up as a  
branch?  I don't have the access for that but I can merge it and test  
the build on other architectures...

Cheers,
Pete
