There might be a "bootstrapping" issue here that isn't an issue with Python since a "Setup.hs" script won't necessarily know which compiler is installed. One solution is for the compilers to standardized on something like "/usr/bin/runhaskell", but then the user would need a way to choose a default. "hmake interactive" might get us there, if there were a way to invoke it like runhugs, and hmake already has the idea of a default compiler.
Not all compilers *have* an interactive mode, do they? I thought nhc98 was just a compiler? This makes it tricky.
No problem - just a little shell script that does
nhc98 foo.hs -o foo
./foo
would be fine. The interactivity isn't really needed.
