[m-dev.] Mercury 0.8

[Erwan Jahier]

| Hi all,
| 
| I've just put the source distribution for Mercury 0.8 on the Mercury
| ftp site <ftp://turiel.cs.mu.oz.au/pub/mercury>.  If there are no
| unexpected hiccups discovered in the next 24 hours or so, we will post
| a formal announcement to mercury-announce and elsewhere.

I run into problems to install this on a "SunOS 5.5.1 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1" 
machine (see below). I didn't have any problems to install mercury on 
that machine before...

Otherwise, the installation of mercury-compiler-0.8 seems to work OK 
on "Linux i686" and "SunOS 5.6 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1" machines.

Hope that helps.
