Comment (by darchon):

 The provided patch makes all library references relative.
 Dynamic libraries now refer to @rpath instead of @loader_path for the
 location of other installed dynlibs.
 All executables, hence also the ghc binary, set an @rpath link/anchor to:
 "@loader_path/..", meaning that all package directories must be in the
 same directory as the parent directory of the executable.

 If the ghc binary is ever moved from <TOP>/lib/bin, the @rpath link should
 me updated accordingly.
