Oh, right, because we still need to pass the right -B flag. So symlinks
won't work for runghc, as the #! line will still point to a script.
So I think that that reduces our options to either leaving things as they
are, or requiring that people use `#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell` if they want
to make Haskell scripts.
