Hmm.  I re-uploaded that binary distribution at some point to fix something, and 
it looks like the new version doesn't have libHSghc.a, but the old one did.  Now 
I can't remember what it was I fixed, so I'm in danger of re-uploading a new 
distribution with whatever bug was in the original one :-(  Can anyone remember 
what was wrong with the first x86_64 distribution?
