Could this be done using GHC's normal binary distribution mechanism?  In
a build tree you do the following:

  - add the line 'BIN_DIST=3D1' to mk/build.mk
  - build everything (inc. profiling libraries if required)
  - say 'make binary-dist Project=3DGhc' at the top level
  - tar up the contents of ghc-5.04 and ship it

this gives you a tarball which can be unpacked and used in-place or
installed elsewhere in the filesystem.

Cheers,
