New description:

 The -main-is option to runghc does not appear to work, at least not when
 specifying a package name. Create Hello.hs:
 {{{
     module Hello where
     main = putStrLn "Hello."
 }}}
 and then try to run it:
 {{{
     runghc -main-is Hello Hello.hs
 }}}
 You will see:
 {{{
     <interactive>:1:113:
         Failed to load interface for `Main':
           Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
 }}}
