ghc --help is outdated

To compile and link a complete Haskell program, run the compiler like
so:

    ghc --make Main

where the module Main is in a file named Main.hs (or Main.lhs) in the
current directory.  The other modules in the program will be located
and compiled automatically, and the linked program will be placed in
the file `a.out' (or `Main.exe' on Windows).

First, --make is no longer necessary. Second, ghc doesn't create a.out on Unix — instead, the file is named the same as the main module (Main in that example).
