#3686: please remove huge ghc-tarballs/

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Just prior to ghc-6.12 RC2 the ghc tarball sizes ballooned:
{{{
-rw-r--r-- 7821334 2009-11-17 12:27 ghc-6.12.0.20091116-src.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 7822080 2009-11-18 18:37 ghc-6.12.0.20091117-src.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 25473470 2009-11-19 10:30 ghc-6.12.0.20091118-src.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 22538103 2009-11-23 14:14 ghc-6.12.0.20091121-src.tar.bz2
}}}
This is largely due to the addition of {{{ghc-tarballs/}}} and
particularly {{{mingw/}}}.
Can't {{{mingw/}}} and {{{perl/}}} go into a separate extra tarball for
people who should want to build on Windows if the ghc project really needs
to ship them? This addition really bloats the src distribution in a big
way.
