I dunno, I use zsh and just do **/*.hs*.  I do have a dependency
chaser that looks at imports to figure out all the modules, but since
the code I'm editing is not always attached to the rest of the
program, especially if it's work in progress, fast-tags **/*.hs* is
still the simplest and best.  And in practice I hook it up to the
editor's write command so a complete initialization is only needed the
first time.
