Do you plan to support ghc command-line flags? Because I tried to
compile darcs with jhc and it failed because darcs' configure file
uses specific flags:

checking for ghc... /home/bortzmeyer/tmp/jhc/jhc/jhc
checking where GHC keeps its libraries... unrecognized option `--print-libdir'
Usage: jhc [OPTION...] Main.hs

Or should I ask darcs' maintainer to consider supporting jhc? (It is
an issue I had when trying to maintain autoconf macros for Java: the
language is standard, not the compilers' options.)
