Comment (by SantiM):

 Hello,

 I'd be happy to take this issue as my first contribution to GHC. I wanted
 to ask a few questions first though:

 1) I didn't find tests on the 'ghc' command or the "showOptions"
 function[0]. Any suggestions on where to put the test for this change and
 how to go about it?

 2) We could fix this by just adding 'nub' to the showOptions, but I guess
 that is not good enough and we probably want to take a look at how flags
 are registered in DynFlags. Ideas?

 Thanks
