Finally builds (oh the agoncy of making it build), but still very
unmergable, only Command.Find is included and lots of stuff is badly
hacked to make it compile.
Benchmarking vs master, this git-annex find is significantly faster!
Specifically:
num files old new speedup
48500 4.77 3.73 28%
12500 1.36 1.02 66%
20 0.075 0.074 0% (so startup time is unchanged)
That's without really finishing the optimization. Things still to do:
* Eliminate all the fromRawFilePath, toRawFilePath, encodeBS,
decodeBS conversions.
* Use versions of IO actions like getFileStatus that take a RawFilePath.
* Eliminate some Data.ByteString.Lazy.toStrict, which is a slow copy.
* Use ByteString for parsing git config to speed up startup.
It's likely several of those will speed up git-annex find further.
And other commands will certianly benefit even more.
This does not change the overall license of the git-annex program, which
was already AGPL due to a number of sources files being AGPL already.
Legally speaking, I'm adding a new license under which these files are
now available; I already released their current contents under the GPL
license. Now they're dual licensed GPL and AGPL. However, I intend
for all my future changes to these files to only be released under the
AGPL license, and I won't be tracking the dual licensing status, so I'm
simply changing the license statement to say it's AGPL.
(In some cases, others wrote parts of the code of a file and released it
under the GPL; but in all cases I have contributed a significant portion
of the code in each file and it's that code that is getting the AGPL
license; the GPL license of other contributors allows combining with
AGPL code.)
Almost working, but there's a bug in the relaying.
Also, made tor hidden service setup pick a random port, to make it harder
to port scan.

Didn't know that this library existed!
This includes making git-annex not re-exec itself on start on windows, and
making the test suite on Windows run tests without forking.
TZ gets set when opening a cygwin terminal.
What I'm oberving is strange.. when TZ is set, even if it's set to the same
thing as the system time zone, it seems to result in files showing with
different mtimes than when TZ is not set. When TZ is not set, the system
time zone is used.
Anyway, once getCurrentTimeZone is fixed, I'll want to have TZ not set so
changes to the system time zone are available immediately.
* git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that
name. The Makefile sets this up, saving some 8 mb of installed size.
* git-union-merge is a demo program, so it is no longer built by default.
Haskell's IO layer crashes on characters > 255 when in a non-unicode (latin1)
locale. Until Haskell gets better behavior, put in an admittedly ugly
workaround for that: git-annex forces utf8 output mode no matter what
locale is selected. So if you use a non-utf8 locale, your filenames with
characters > 127 will not be displayed as you'd expect. But at least it
won't crash.
The option cause it to always build to build/Main.o, no matter what
binary it was building. This caused extra work, and in some cases,
could cause the wrong code to be put into the final binary.
