I don't think we should worry too much about making it easy for people
to call their sources -fglasgow-exts.hs. In fact, I'm not even too
bothered about people who want to pass -fglasgow-exts as a flag, rather
than (a) using an OPTIONS_GHC pragma (b) using more specific -XFoo flags
(c) using a more portable LANGUAGE Foo pragma.

That might be nice: ghc GHCFLAGS --run MODULE PROGRAMFLAGS

However, runghc would still need to work out which GHC to run, and would
still need to work out where to insert the "--run" in the arguments it
is given.
