Sorry, the change I posted doesn't actually do that.  It leaves the
symbols which were documented in the Mercury language reference manual --
the typedefs used in the foreign language interface (Float, Char, Word,
String, etc.) and the list macros (list_is_empty, list_head, list_tail,
list_empty and list_cons).  These are still referred to in countless
places in extras/.../*.m.

So here's another go at the log message:

runtime/mercury_bootstrap.h:
	Move things around so that a whole lot of stuff which used
	to be defined by default is now only defined if
	MR_EXTRA_BACKWARDS_COMPAT is defined.
