Comment:

 hoopl/transformers are only used by exported 'ghc' library.
 To make users load it into, say, ghci you need to export it completely
 (ghci -package ghc).

 xhtml used by haddock binary, terminfo/haskeline used by ghc binary
 (--interactive mode, aka GHCi).
 Thus they need only dynamic libs, no need to export them.
