Travis validation on a GHC fork?

[Richard Eisenberg]

I don't think this answer "scales" -- what if I've forked some submodules but not others? I think it should perhaps check to see if there is a forked submodule, and then go to GHC's if there isn't.

I suppose I could implement this myself, but I'm confident there is someone who could do it in roughly a quarter of the time this would take me...

Thanks,
Richard
