[Haskell-cafe] making the GHC Api not write to stderr

Hi,
I tried that, setting it to (\_ _ _ _ -> return ()) and it still did the
same, also tried setting it to undefined to see whether the code that's
printing the error is using it, and it didn't crash
So I assume it's not.

-----------
*VsxParser> getModInfo True
"C:\\Users\\Phyx\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\tmp5600.hs"
"" >> return ()

C:\Users\Phyx\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp5600.hs:11:13:
    parse error on input `='
Printf
---------

I think parseModule might still have a hardcoded print statement in it.

You could try changing the log_action[1] member of the DynFlags.  A while
ago I turned most printed errors into some form of error message, but I
wouldn't be surprised if I missed some places.  All output should go through
log_action, though, so try changing that to intercept any output.
