There should be a flag `+RTS -foo` that prints info including:
  * The version of GHC used to compile the program
  * The sort of RTS linked against

 There should also be a flag that can be given to the compiler that prints
 info including:
  * Whether it has a NCG
  * Whether or not it is registerised
  * Whether it supports ghci/ghc -e
  * What RTSs it has
  * Whether it supports SMP

 Ideally this would all be easily machine-parseable.
