Comment:
We should make a decision about this and close the ticket, so I'll mark it
high so that we don't just let it languish.
The two options are:
* Bundle everything in one, as we do now. Makes it convenient for users,
but downloads are large and it uses more disk space.
* Have 2 (or more) separate tarballs, and require the user unpacks the
right ones for their platform. Possibly confusing for people trying to
build GHC.
