Can't reliably detect missing profiling versions of preinstalled packages #70

@r0ml

Description

@r0ml

When ghc list --simple says that some packages are preinstalled, we assume that the profiling versions are also installed. This is a bold assumption.

Currently users would need to either install the profiling versions, or uninstall the package entirely, to build the full platform.

the new build doesn't look at "preinstalled" packages at all
it uses the GHC bindist, which, I suppose, might not have profiling libs... which would be reasonable to detect in hptool
