head aches in parser/Parser.hs

[Claus Reinke]

Another 'make distclean' removes Parser.hs, but leaves lots of other
.hs files that have .x or .y files:

    $ ls compiler/parser/
    Ctype.lhs           HaddockLex.x     HaddockUtils.hs  Lexer.x        ParserCore.y 
cutils.c
    HaddockLex.hs       HaddockParse.hs  LexCore.hs       Parser.y.pp    ParserCoreUtils.hs 
cutils.h
    HaddockLex.hs-boot  HaddockParse.y   Lexer.hs         ParserCore.hs  RdrHsSyn.lhs 
hschooks.c

This includes Lexer.hs, which -unlike Lexer.x- doesn't know about
ITwarning_prag. It seems that the rumours about the build system
having settled down might have been premature?

Another question: why do buildbot builders start from fresh repos?
Shouldn't they test the more common update repo situation?
