Hi all,

I've patched up an install script for OpenBSD users of GHC who:

        -  would like to install it somewhere other than /usr/local
        -  do not have root priviledges on their machine

Note that uninstallation must be by hand if you use this script, as we
bypass the pkg system.

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

Making sure you've got the ghc-5.04.tgz (or 5.02.3) file in your current
directory type, for example:

        ./user_install.sh ghc-5.04.tgz /home/dons/

and that should do it. All feedback is welcome.

Cheers,
Don
