I realize now that I may have misinterpreted your message. I was actually
planning to use `--make` to do the caching, but I wanted to be sure that
the cache was shared across users and respected differences in GHC
versions. This might lead to a cache like `/tmp/runghc/<runghc version
here>/<actual cache here>`. It's also worth examining the security dangers
of a system wide cache. They may be severe -- evil object files could be
substituted for correct ones if all users have write access to the cache.
So maybe we need to spawn a separate process that calls a setuid program
to do the compilation?
