Calling haddock in a portable way

hello,

   the new version of haddock (2.0.0) needs a new option -B that tells 
it  the GHC lib directory. How do I find out the correct value for this 
option in a makefile, so that the makefile stays portable?

Cheers,
   Misha

Maybe you could do something like call out to a shell and ask it to run 'ghc --print-libdir'? That for me
prints to stdout a string like '/usr/lib64/ghc-6.8.2'.

   Yes, this looks like a solution. Thanks a lot!
