The next problem...  :-)

ghc has two modes of looking for .hi files, hierarchical and
non-hierarchical. In hierarchical mode when importing
System.Gnome.GConf.GConfClient it will look
for ./System/Gnome/GConf/GConfValue.hi

However if one specifies -igconf then it goes into non-hierarchical mode
and will only look for gconf/GConfType.hi, and not
gconf/System/Gnome/GConf/GConfType.hi

Actually I don't quite understand when it uses one mode or the other. If
you specify -igconf/System (but not -igconf) then it looks for:
gconf/System/System/Gnome/GConf/GConfType.hi

ie it is in hierarchical mode, but go back to -igconf (which if it were
in hierarchical mode would be right) and it switches back to
non-hierarchical mode! Grrr.

So one workaround is to cd to the source base directory before invoking
ghc and the other is to specify every subdirectory in SOURCES. Neither
is particularly nice.
