2014.2.0.0 alphas

[Mark Lentczner]

Alphas fo Windows are now here:

HaskellPlatform-2014.2.0.0-i386-setup.exe
<http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/HaskellPlatform-2014.2.0.0-i386-setup.exe>
HaskellPlatform-2014.2.0.0-x86_64-setup.exe
<http://www.ozonehouse.com/mark/platform/HaskellPlatform-2014.2.0.0-x86_64-setup.exe>


Thanks to Randy Polen for these builds, and integrating the Windows build
into the new-build for the platform. (See latest commits to the new-build
branch).

Notes from Randy:

The HP for WIndows now includes the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) from the
FreeGLUT project, utilizing the pre-built distribution from
http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/software/freeglut-devel/ with the MinGW
buld (freeglut-MinGW-2.8.1-1.mp.zip).

Unfortunately, I am not able to test much on GLUT (particularly the newer
stuff, which is part of the reason for upgrading to freeglut) as my
graphics hardware only support OpenGL 3.3, whereas newer versions (e.g.,
4.3) are needed.  I have only done a couple of sanity tests for GLUT.  I'll
ask the GLUT maintainer if he can do more than I (not sure he is a Windows
user, though, but I'll check).

Known issue: doc links are still messed up, as we've mentioned before.  Be
getting to that this week!
