even GHC has/had this confusion. What's the difference anyway? Well I
guess a package can be an executable program, or can be a library. I
doubt the terminology makes much difference, just pick something consistent.
Maybe you use '-p' and not '-l' so that '-l' can mean exactly what it
means to the C compiler?
