[Haskell-iPhone] iOS cross compile instructions now on GHC wiki / progress update

[Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone]]

Thanks Simon - I've added that to a list of loose ends on the 
Building/CrossCompiling/iOS wiki page.

All - I've fixed the issues with 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7722, so everything should 
now be working.

Anyone who wants to try it now should either apply all the patches 
associated with "Blocked By" of 
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7724, or check out 
http://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc on the 'master-merge-ios' branch.
