Unfortunately, due some other `libffi` issues, this doesn't completely fix dynamic builds on OSX. - Use 'extra-libraries' from .cabal files instead of hardcoding which packages need which extra libs. Also add support for 'extra-lib-dirs'. - Make sure Hadrian looks in the right places to support both plain '<pkg>.buildinfo' and '<pkg>.buildinfo.in' files. - Make the '-rpath' support more robust across OS's (it previously didn't work on OSX and possibly windows either).
