New description:

 Make a list of things to check to see if the installer works. As many as
 possible of these should be automated, eg using scripts + HUnit or
 something.

 eg:

   * compile hello world
   * ghci -package blah
   * ghc-pkg check ([http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-
 users/2009-April/017012.html see for example what could go wrong])
   * run full ghc testsuite perhaps
   * Check all executables are .. executable
