 Replying to [comment:8 igloo]:
 > I think symlinks are the best way forward here. Is there a reason we
 don't use a symlink for ghci?

 No symlinks on Windows, but perhaps we could use symlinks on Un*x.  The
 symlink would have to point to the wrapper script that invokes the GHC
 binary, so the cleverness might have to be in the script, not GHC itself.
