Trailing colon on GHC_PACKAGE_PATH doesn't work with ghc-pkg.

According to section 5.8.4.1 of the ''Users' Guide'', appending a colon to GHC_PACKAGE_PATH should include the system libraries, and this can be verified with ghc-pkg. While the colon does appear to work for ghci (as verified with -v), it does not appear to work for ghc-pkg.

$ echo '[]' > temp.conf
$ export GHC_PACKAGE_PATH=`pwd`/temp.conf:
