Comment:

 It's important to me, but fairly easy for me to work around if it's hard
 to fix ghc's behavior.

 An alternate hack under Unix might be for the runghc executable to check
 its `$0` argument and look for a ghc there, or have `runghc` be a symlink
 (or hardlink, which is discouraged) to `ghc`.
