The wrapper script for ghc-pkg changes the command's default behavior such that
global packages -- i.e. packages that are part of GHC itself -- are no longer
found:
$ ghc-pkg describe base
ghc-pkg: cannot find package base
This patch remedies the problem.

The initial MacOS X binaries have been linked to libgmp.dylib using some
mad path in /opt that's now hard-coded into the program. Consequently,
$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH must contain the place where libgmp really is for
those binaries to run correctly. Tested on i386-apple-darwin9.7.0.

Unfortunately, the same problem occurs again with 'installPackage', so as of
now, GHC cannot be installed on Red Hat.

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.

rebuild all of GHC every time the setup hook changes. Thus its
better to factor it out. (After all, the setup hook doesn't have to
be provided by the GHC package proper; it can also be provided by
some helper package.)

Several binaries (except for ghc itself, for which there was a
workaround) were broken before because they were stripped
during installation. Now, all binaries should work, in particular
ghc-pkg ...
