I had *major* pains with this for the upcoming HOpenGL release, too. :-P
'ghc -v' will tell you the location of package.conf, which for a normal GHC install is located in $libdir. Does that help?
Ooops, never noticed that. Since when (GHC x.y) has this been working? Is this the "official" way? IMHO it's quite important, because due to the heavy inter-module optimizations, packages are closely tied to a specific GHC version, so $libdir is the only sensible place for package installation.
