Comment (by Isaac Dupree):
Would it be reasonable for the installer to look for gcc/etc. already
installed, and if it doesn't find them, say "Please insert your OS X
install CD/DVD so we can first install the developer tools, which are
needed by GHC." And when the disc is inserted, automatically start the
appropriate installer and wait for it to successfully finish before
continuing with installing ghc. (really two questions: can that be done,
and is it a good enough user experience? Should we assume everyone
running OS X has convenient access to their install discs?)
