 When writing a binding to a foreign package that does not support pkg-
 config, it seems to be essential to know what the fields of
 InstalledPackageInfo precisely mean. I find the current description in
 section 4.9.8 of the GHC doc too short.

 What does extra-ghci-libraries mean? It is undocumented.
 In which field I should list shared objects? In which field I should
 enumerate static link libraries? Which libraries are used when compiling
 with -dynamic option and which ones are used for static linking? Are the
 library paths used both for static and dynamic link libraries? Which
 fields affect compilation of included C files? Which fields affect GHCi
 and which ones affect GHC?
