validate.mk is to validate what build.mk is to make, i.e. if you want
the default settings then you can ignore validate.mk, but if you want to
change something then that's the place to change it.

It's on
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DarcsRepositories
at least (except we use "library" and "package" interchangeably).
Although the terminology does clash with
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/PackageReorg
so perhaps we should rename to "boot" and "extra" instead.
Thanks
