What about (finally!) adding the `--print-include-path' and
`--print-library-path' switches to ghc?  That would be a clean
solution, IMO.

IIRC, this has been asked for several times in the past, but was never
implemented.  I guess it would make at least Malcolm's life much
easier for the nhc98 scripts... :)
