>This is the entry point to actually building the modules in a package. It
 doesn't actually do much itself, most of the work is delegated to
 compiler-specific actions. It does do some non-compiler specific bits like
 running pre-processors.

>There's some stuff to do with generating <TT

 feature that's used to build libraries inside the GHC build system but which
 we'd like to kill off and replace with something better (doing our own
 dependency analysis properly).
