Does this also work with a system installed ghc? These are usually
installed in /usr (I'm using Gentoo Linux):

$ ls -l /usr/bin/ghc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 dec 22 00:22 /usr/bin/ghc -> ghc-6.12.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 279 dec 22 00:20 /usr/bin/ghc-6.12.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  11 dec 22 00:22 /usr/bin/ghci -> ghci-6.12.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  61 dec 22 00:20 /usr/bin/ghci-6.12.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  14 dec 22 00:22 /usr/bin/ghc-pkg -> ghc-pkg-6.12.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 262 dec 22 00:20 /usr/bin/ghc-pkg-6.12.1

If so, I think I'm going to use this tools since I occasionally like
to try out ghc-HEAD.
