Please think seriously about mangling the names of Haskell libraries to
include version information and dropping them in $PREFIX/lib with every
other language's libraries. Haskell is not special, and users expect
libraries to be in /usr/lib. No wrapper needed, no RPATH needed, as far
as I can see no fanciness at all.
Actually, Haskell libraries ought to be placed in /usr/local/lib (or /usr/pkg/lib for systems that use the Package System:
http://www.pkgsrc.org). Haskell libraries shouldn't mingle with the base OS libraries. But it shouldn't be separate from the other third-party libraries, either.
