[Hat] Hat hasn't installed properly

[Thomas Davie]

The reason that the package is not there I have discovered is that  
ghc-pkg register quits out because libHShat.a does not exist.   
Putting that in the appropriate place causes ghc-pkg register to  
work, but then you get errors because the hat-libs aren't in the  
right places.

I'm not quite sure where the hat libs should be going.
