Summary: allow hierarchical module names with --make

Initial Comment:
It would be convenient (and consistent) to allow the
use of hierarchical module names with --make, so that
something like:

ghc -isource_directory --make app.Main -o app

would find the source_directory/app/Main.hs module to
begin its processing.

You can use hierarchical module names with --make, but your
module names must be a lexically correct; that is, each
component must begin with an upper case letter.  App.Main
would work, app.Main is not a module name.

More information on hierarchical modules here:

and in the GHC User Guide.
