 I found myself wanting the other day to pass some specific RTS options to
 GHC on the command line, with those options varying depending on the
 version of GHC:

 {{{ghc-options: --with-rtsopts="-N -qg"}}}

 However, Cabal doesn't tokenize command line options, and GHC doesn't
 treat multiple {{{--with-rtsopts}}} arguments as building up a single
 string, so I found myself stuck. (I know about the "specify the options in
 a {{{.c}}} file, and that's what I did, but it's less elegant.)
