No, I had this line in my build.mk from the beginning. For the record,
here goes my builld.mk:
----------------------------------------
GhcBuilderVersion = 207
WithGhcHc = ghc-2.07
Ghc2_0=YES
GhcWithHscBuiltViaC=NO

Yes, I use 2.07 (or so it seems):
[08:53:35] ben@kawa:~> ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 2.07,patchlevel 0
BTW, when you are so kind as to answer my not-so-wise questions, what
is the 'proper' way of getting a .dvi from literate sources? I could
not find anything in the docs, and my attempts to follow the
literate/README fail at the make stage already.
