Comment:

 ghc-6.8 has a flag that tells us various features about the ghc
 installation. I think that the ghci support is one of these things. So we
 could support this feature in ghc-6.8 and later.

 If we do this, should we drop the existing --disable-library-for-ghci
 flag? We could keep it if we tried the {{{ghc -e "return ()"}}}
 suggestion.
