Changes (by igloo):

  * status:  infoneeded => new
  * milestone:  => 7.8.1


Comment:

 How about we instead add a function
 {{{
 GHC.Exts.getSourceFiles :: IO [FilePath]
 }}}
 which returns the absolute path to the source files that are loaded. In a
 compiled program this would return []. Then the programmer can implement
 his own watching/reloading mechanism.
