 Now that ticket #7843 has been closed, it would be great to ship a default
 implementation of a bash completion file for ghc.

 Since there isn't a standard location to install completion files across
 distros, it might be good to have an optional flag during configure to
 specify a location and if one is specified, install the bash completion
 file into that location.

 The following links provide implementations that have worked for me:
