hsc2hs should always be installed. it is absolutly needed to write
portable libraries because you can't hard-code c constants or types in
your files and expect them to compile on different systems.

it would be nice if these compiler independent tools hsc2hs, runhaskell,
cabal-install  could be split off into their own project independent of
any particular compiler.
