ghc packages for interactive use

For a Haskell library, the linker will attempt to load <lib>.o, where
the batch compiler would normally look for lib<lib>.a (on Unix).  You
can construct <lib>.o from its constituent .o files using 'ld -r':

	ld -r -o <lib>.o Foo.o Bar.o=20

or you can construct it from the .a library, like so:

	ld -r -o <lib>.o --whole-archive lib<lib>.a

For normal C code, you can either build a shared library or a combined
.o file as above.  You don't need to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH - just tell
GHCi where the library lives using the package spec.
