FWIW, I use a directory structure like: src/ source code build// intermediate files (.hi, .o) dist/ deliverables I execute GHC using: ghc --make Main -isrc -hidir build -odir build -o dist/program As a result, I never have any non-source files mixed in with the source files. So, I think what you want is possible today.

The difference is that for Modula-3 the same effect is achieved by e.g. m3build or cm3 that is, I never called the compiler but always used the M3 build system. Would be nice to have this with Haskell, too. Maybe 'hmake' and Cabal can help here?
