The wrapper script accumulated some cruft over the last couple of months
because we did changes in freaky ways to avoid triggering re-builds of all
Haskell packages. Most of these kludges have been thrown out now.
This patch doesn't change the behavior of the wrapper except for one thing: the
internal helper scripts "ghc-get-packages.sh" and "ghc-packages.sh" are no
longer installed in the bin directory of the generated derivation.
The freaky implementation was done that way in order to avoid unnecessary
re-builds of all Haskell packages by changing the wrapper script used
internally in those builds.

into haskell-packages.nix, which depends on an instance of GHC.
This allows a consistent set of packages to be built with the same
GHC. For instance,
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc683.xmonad
builds xmonad and all its dependencies with GHC 6.8.3, while
$ nix-build -A haskellPackages_ghc6102.xmonad
does the same with GHC 6.10.2. This is the same technique used with
kernelPackages. It also means that we don't need things like
"cabal682" and "cabal683" anymore.
* The setup hook is now in a separate wrapper package so that we don't
have to recompile all of GHC every time we want to make a small
change.
* cinelerra: this package appears to have an accidental dependency on
the "X11" Haskell package.
