Comment (by simonmar):

 I made it so that the GHC package will work when linked into both static
 and dynamic programs.  This is really a lie, because the RTS linker
 doesn't work on all platforms (64-bit Windows, and probably Mac OS X), so
 there's still more to do: we have to explicitly fail if the platform
 doesn't support static linking.
