Comment(by MikolajKonarski):
It wouldn't hurt to allow relative paths to the compiler, too. Right now
the following fails:
{{{
cabal install -w ../ghc.bkp/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 parallel
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring containers-0.4.2.1...
cabal: Cannot find the program 'ghc' at '../ghc.bkp/inplace/bin/ghc-
stage2' or on the path
}}}
but the same compilation works OK if installing from a source directory,
not from Hackage.
BTW, If/when it's done, it would make sense to remove the tip about
absolute paths, I've added in
