[Haskell-iPhone] iOS cross compile instructions now on GHC wiki / progress update

[Alex Carter]

 On a fresh checkout of ghc-ios:ghc/merge-master-ios, I get *sync-all*
and *perl
boot* errors:
*
*
>
> *$ sync-all --no-dph get*
> ...

> path 'libraries/vector'

and then:

$ perl boot
> Error: libraries/Cabal/LICENSE doesn't exist.
> Maybe you haven't done './sync-all get'? at boot line 74, <PACKAGES> line

which I suppose makes sense since the Cabal checkout failed...
