[nhc-bugs] Possible bug in include handling

[D. Tweed]

Hi, I'm not sure what the expected behaviour ought to be so this may not
be a bug...

Given a Haskell script with a line like

import "/home/PRG_DEV/SRC/SCRIPTS/HASKELL/MAKEFILE_GENERATOR/LdfsWrapper.hs"

hi, hmake, etc (version "Version: 2.02 (2001-02-08)") all report

Fail: Can't find module
"/home/PRG_DEV/SRC/SCRIPTS/HASKELL/MAKEFILE_GENERATOR/LdfsWrapper.hs" in
        .
        .
  Or in standard libraries at
        /usr/local/include/nhc98
  Asked for by: makeMakefile.hs
[Check settings of -I or -P flags?]

I'd have thought it would be allowable to use unix absolute paths
(certainly gcc allows absolute paths so I presume it's not some
obscure security risk).

(In case anyone wants to know, the full paths are there because some
of these files are used in runhugs scripts, which are themselves invoked
via symlinks, so it's easier to have all imports absolute.)
