Comment(by simonmar):
I had a look at the patches. The situation in `DynFlags` is now a bit
strange - we have both the `Opt_ReadGlobalPackageConf` options ''and'' the
`[PkgConfRef]`. I think we should have just the `[PkgConfRef]`
representing the stack, and all the flags should manipulate it directly.
So
* We start with `[global,user]`
* `-no-user-package-db` removes user from the list (similarly for global)
* `-user-package-db` adds user to the end (similarly for global)
* `-package-conf file` adds file to the end
* `-clear-package-db` sets the list to empty
