I've patched up an install script for OpenBSD users of GHC who:

- would like to install it somewhere other than /usr/local - do not have root priviledges on their machine

Note that uninstallation must be by hand if you use this script, as we bypass the pkg system.

Could this be done using GHC's normal binary distribution mechanism? In a build tree you do the following: - add the line 'BIN_DIST=1' to mk/build.mk - build everything (inc. profiling libraries if required) - say 'make binary-dist Project=Ghc' at the top level - tar up the contents of ghc-5.04 and ship it this gives you a tarball which can be unpacked and used in-place or installed elsewhere in the filesystem.
