Log message:
Update to 6.12.2.

Many thanks to Darrin Chandler and dcoppa@ for testing, reporting about
broken stuff, missing dependencies here and in ports depending on ghc.

Notes and rants:

- Bootstrapping is done using precompiled binaries, since .hc
bootstrapping still doesn't work. I really hate this.

THIS MEANS THAT GHC IS NOW AND WILL STAY LEGACY-ONLY (i386 and amd64)

At least until someone fixes it. I tried for more than two year
(well, only in my spare time and during my vacations) and failed.

- libgmp is currently disabled, because I didn't yet hack the GHC build
system to use the system libgmp instead of the patched one included
in GHC.

- The haddock ncluded in the ghc distfile is replaced by the version
of haddock found in devel/haddock. Haddock itself is @commented
in the ghc PLIST. Unfortunately, this needs an ugly hack that
introduces an otherwise useless pseudo flavor `no_deps' in
devel/haddock.

- CLDouble has been removed from GHC some time ago, because it was
an alias for double (AFAIK there's now support for long double
in GHC). As this isn't a really big problem, it currently breaks
c2hs, which I'll mark broken temporarily before committing the
ghc update.

- The external codeset defaults to latin1 (suggested by Simon Marlow)
and can be overridden by setting the HS_ENCODING to any codeset
supported by libiconv.

- ghc.port.mk still needs some love, especially for letting a port add
additional parameters to certain invocations of ${MODGHC_SETUP_PROG}.
