Add flag to configure that skips overwriting of symlinks on install
Sometimes when I'm installing a GHC release candidates I'd like to install the RC without overwriting the ghc etc symlinks in /usr/local/bin. It would be convenient to have a configure flag that told the install step to only install the versioned binaries (e.g. ghc-6.2.1) in /usr/local/bin, without the symlinks.
