HEAD doesn't build (was Re: patch applied (ghc): Add hardwire-lib-paths option and make it default for inplace invocations)

This is a hairy topic with lots of interrelated issues, so I've tried to 
distill it into a wiki page:

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SharedLibraries

Please feel free to edit.  I've added Reilly's analysis of the Linux and 
MacOS support (thanks Reilly!).

At the moment, I believe Clemens is implementing the scheme we originally 
had, except that on MacOS he's setting the install-path of shared libraries 
in the tree to point to their current locations (gives the effect of 
-rpath).  The plan is to change the paths at install-time, which you can do 
  apparently.

Cheers,
	Simon
