 If you misspell a command with ghc-pkg, you are rewarded with 112 lines of
 output. Unless you have a gigantic terminal, this will tend to mean that
 your actual error message will disappear entirely from view.

 ghc-pkg should probably just briefly refer users to --help if they want
 the whole thing.
