I've added a -hidir option which should do the right thing.

This might make it easier to build a library from Haskell files, but it
would also be duplicating functionality that is already available. I
don't see it as a priority, I'm afraid.

So you can use the same makefile, but you can replace part (1) with a
single rule which uses --make.
