Summary: Compiling multiple executables with -make

Initial Comment:
Hi

I am very happy with the -make option. However, I think
it could be improved even further. I would like ghc to
be able to compile multiple executables with one
invocation of ghc, using the -make option.

Compiling multiple executables in one invokation could
safe a lot of compile-time, when the executables shares
most of their source files. I believe the time would be
saved, as it would remove the need to check all source
files for possible recompilation for each executable.
Furthermore, we would also only need to build the
dependency graph once.
