Comment (by chak):

 From what I understand about dylibs on Mac OS, the proposed -install-name
 option does make sense.

 I had a quick lock at the patch and it seems reasonable to me.  I haven't
 validated it, though.

 I'm in favour of accepting these changes.  I'll be happy to validate this
 and push if GHC HQ is happy with this.  Not sure how you want to handle
 the Cabal part of this.  Duncan?

 (There needs to be an additional patch to the GHC docs, though, to
 document the new option.)
