fixed "make install" to that extent where regression tests could have been
run.

doesn't have a way of regression testing shared libs in whatever
conceptual broken they may be now than GHC will fail to deliver. That's
simply because shared libs will bitrot in the ongoing development.
You're right, nothing prevents us from setting up buildbots (except lack
of time). But I would really like to have a clear plan of action for
getting us to the goal of having shared libs deployed. It's probably not
difficult, but someone/people need to sit down and seriously think about
how all this is going to work.
