hello,

i ran into a compiler-detection bug in building nhc98 (the 1.10 tarball, 
but the same bug seems to be in cvs and earlier versions): the build 
process fails to detect the default ghc 5.02 installation on my debian 
linux machine as well as the ghc 5.00.2 installation on a redhat 7.1 box 
nearby.

the problem turns out to be that script/confhc looks through the ghc 
executable for the wrong stuff (at least in the installations i 
mentioned above).  i attached a patch  (against the cvs tree) to fix 
this at least on these debian and redhat installations.

cheers,
