You have two choices: use the -i option, or make a package.  The "right
way" to use 3rd party libraries is to make a package.  We're making it
easier to build packages with Cabal (http:///www.haskell.org/cabal/).

Incedentally, GHC 6.4 will come with HUnit.  And I believe there's a
Cabal version floating around somewhere that should install with GHC
6.2.2.
