Comment (by simonmar):

 Here's a straw man proposal:

  * In `--make` mode, if any modules require `TemplateHaskell`, then we
 switch on `-dynamic-too` automatically, if GHC is dynamically-linked and
 we're compiling statically
  * Make `-dynamic-too` work with `-o`, by using some sensible convention
 for object file names
  * Document this behavior in the release notes and User's Guide
