Because I have to find and copy many files and then set up the library path
env vars when distributing. Especially since the average Haskell project
relies on *many* libraries, this gets crazy fast. Distributing to sane
systems like Debian (where I could just set dependencies) would be fine, but
for, say, blackberry app dev or windows or mac, it just gets in the way.
In fact, the static haskell librarie, dynamic C libraries approach GHC took
was a major selling point when my company was choosing what platform to
target for our blackberry development.
