using the linux tarball HP on Fedora

[Mark Lentczner]

I've now verified that the bindist of Haksell Platform works on the
following distros:

    centos    -- hp works on 7
    debian    -- hp works on 7
    fedora    -- hp works on 20
    opensuse  -- hp works on 13.1
    ubuntu    -- hp works on 12.04

As near as I can tell, those are the oldest versions it can run on (without
rebuilding GHC and the Platform)
​
for pretty much all of those all that is needed are these packages:

fedora & centos:
    yum install tar gcc
    yum install gmp-devel zlib-devel ncurses-devel

opensuse:
    zypper install tar gcc
    zypper install gmp-devel zlib-devel ncurses-devel

debian & ubuntu:
    apt-get install tar gcc
    apt-get install libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev ncurses-dev

I haven't checked out the OpenGL support on these systems... but imagine it
will be fine.
