Comment (by duncan):

 This is a more tricky problem than it looks. The reason is we're now
 parsing the config file by converting the command line parser. It has
 flags for `--ghc`, `--hugs` etc and is case sensitive. Really we'd like a
 config field flag parsed using the `Text` instance for `CompilerFlavor`
 because that is not case sensitive.

 Doing this properly involves rewriting the command line option / config
 file field description subsystem.
