With current versions of GHC, to set the default RTS options you need to 
do some insanity with linking in a C stub or something absurd like that.

However, take a look at this:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.0-latest/html/users_guide/runtime-control.html#id3095435

It appears that with GHC 7, you can just say something like 
|-with-rtsopts="-H128m -K1m"| while compiling your program, and now that 
will forever be the default RTS settings for your program.

I haven't actually tried this myself, however. In particular, I'm not 
sure if you have to turn on the full RTS options before this will work...
