# ghc wrapper script (for managing installed GHC versions)
# this is a small script I use that allows multiple simultaneous ghc
# installations. This makes the following assumptions about how
# you want to set up your system:
# - GHC version {X} is installed with prefix ~/install/ghc-${X}
# - A file naming the current selected GHC version is placed
#   at ~/.current-ghc
# - cabal is configured to point to this script instead of ghc
# - If using fetch, then mktemp must result in a directory to which
#   this script can write, as well
# This script is being run as a user that can read and modify things
# in your $HOME directory.

        # It's possible (for various reasons) for /none/ of the
        # current versions to be selected, in which case all of
        # them will be prefixed by a -; otherwise, the one that
        # is selected will be prefixed by a +.

$0 [wrapper script]
Usage:
  $0 list              List installed versions of ghc
  $0 set [regex]       Set current GHC to the version that uniquely
                          matches the supplied regex
  $0 fetch [version]   Fetch, build, and install the specified version
                          of GHC. (Does not change the current version.)
  $0 --wrapper-help    See this help menu
  $0 [anything else]   Use GHC normally

This wrapper script assumes that you'll always install your GHC versions
to ~/install/ghc-{VERSION}, and will store the currently selected GHC version
in ~/.current-ghc.

WARNING: This script is quite brittle and makes a lot of assumptions about
how you lay things out! While I suspect it shouldn't actively break anything,
be careful about using it!
