#4104: ghc-pkg refuses to register packages if some include directories don't
exist

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
When registering a package, ghc-pkg fails with an error if any of the
include directories do not exist. This is fine in general, but causes
installation failures with gtk2hs. This is because the gtk2hs build tools
will add all the directories given by "pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0",
which typically contains lots of redundant and possibly non-existent
directories, depending on your operating system.
Maybe ghc-pkg should just warn instead?
