This is a hairy topic with lots of interrelated issues, so I've tried to
distill it into a wiki page:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/SharedLibraries
Please feel free to edit. I've added Reilly's analysis of the Linux and
MacOS support (thanks Reilly!).
At the moment, I believe Clemens is implementing the scheme we originally
had, except that on MacOS he's setting the install-path of shared libraries
in the tree to point to their current locations (gives the effect of
-rpath). The plan is to change the paths at install-time, which you can do
apparently.
Cheers,
Simon
