As I understand it, the entire point of this effort (shared libraries in GHC) is to allow dynamically linked Haskell executables. In this case, applications outside the GHC toolchain will in fact depend on these shared objects. As a concrete case, a binary darcs package could be a user of libghc66-base.so and libghc66-mtl.so -- with no dependencies on the GHC compiler package itself. Does this pass your litmus test?
