Ship default bash completion file with ghc
Now that ticket #7843 (closed) has been closed, it would be great to ship a default implementation of a bash completion file for ghc.
Since there isn't a standard location to install completion files across distros, it might be good to have an optional flag during configure to specify a location and if one is specified, install the bash completion file into that location.
The following links provide implementations that have worked for me:
