[Agda-dev] New Agda Compiler/Backend

[Ulf Norell]

It built and passed the test suite so I merged it. Philipp I invited you to
the agda group on github so you can commit directly to the main repo when
you make further developments on the backend.

As Nils Anders said some text should be added to
doc/release-notes/2-4-4.txt.

Also, it would be a good idea if you could take some of your test programs
and set
up a test/uhc directory that could be run as part of make test.
