In response to public demand (hi Feliks :) there is now available
a script for installing the 5.02.3 binary package somewhere other than
/usr/local/.

Use this if you aren't root on your system. The script doesn't
use the pkg_{add,delete} mechanism so you will have to uninstall
by hand, sorry.

To use this script, download:

        ftp://ftp.cse.unsw.edu.au/pub/users/dons/ghc/user_install.sh
and
        chmod 700 user_install.sh

then, making sure you've already got the ghc-5.02.3.tgz binary package
somewhere on the system, type, for examaple:

        ./user_install.sh /home/dons/ ghc-5.02.3.tgz

and that should do it.

Bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
