It looks nice, but don't you think the -package-base flag ought to take both the package name *and* the mountpoint?

My intention was that -package-base specifies a base for the package specified in the preceding -package flag, but I'll clarify it in the document. In other words, it is an optional argument and the syntax is

ghc ... -package PACKAGE -package-base BASE ...

(giving package PACKAGE mount point BASE)

...

Otherwise, this looks like what I've wanted all along, if only I knew it ;-).

Excellent, thanks.

What about packages with multiple module trees like, say, Cabal? -- Cheers, Lemmih
