Changes (by igloo):

  * milestone:  => 6.8

Comment:

 Multiple options are allowed with bash/Linux at least; does anything
 important still have the one-argument restriction?

 Also, runghc only compiles to bytecode (i.e. the same as ghci).

 I'm milestoning this as 6.8 as it seems likely to require an interface
 change of some sort.
