GHC_SEARCH_PATH broken
This bug is present in at least ghc 6.8.2 and ghc 6.10.1. According to the documentation:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.1/html/users_guide/packages.html#ghc-package-path
One should be able to specify an environment variable like GHC_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/foo: in order to add the file foo to the search path. Instead, the search path is completely replaced--which seems unlikely to be the desired behavior, besides being contrary to the documentation.
This feature works fine, however, in ghc 6.6.1.
