[Haskell-cafe] haskell platform broken in ubuntu

[Vagif Verdi]

Oops my bad. The script downloads and installs binary, already compiled 
ghc. 

So it certainly does not take 2 hours, i just did it on 2 computers and it 
takes less than a couple of minutes. I did not though install the entire 
haskell platform, only ghc itself.
