* Add a link-time flag to en/disable the RTS options
If RTS options are disabled then:
* The ghc_rts_opts C code variable is processed as normal
* The GHCRTS environment variable is ignored and, if it is defined, a
warning is emitted
* The +RTS flag gives an error and terminates the program

Are these sufficient for the security / setuid use case? I think writing to stderr might cause the program to do something different than what was intended (and, as a compiler, we have no idea either what the program or its caller is supposed to be doing).

I did not successfully find out from Google-ing whether this is something to be concerned about.
