 Currently for c2hs we pass include dirs of the package itself. However for
 hsc2hs we also pass the include dirs of dependent packages. This is
 important because packages like base, rts etc have some special include
 dirs that we need. Especially on Windows where the mingw header files are
 in a special location that's recorded in the package info for base or rts.

 This is needed for portably binding to things in the mingw Windows header
 files, but also for generic posix things that happen to be defined in the
 mingw header files.

 It should not be too hard. Much of the code can be shared with the
 existing code for hsc2hs.
