Looks like /usr/local/ghc-5.04/bin/i386-unknown-linux/hsc2hs doesn't set
the HSC2HS_BINDIR variable (i.e. a problem in the ghc bundle).

This also raises the issue that Posix.hsc makes the Hugs build depend
on a GHC installation.  The script already avoids depending on happy
to convert *.ly by using the corresponding .hs file if available, and
the rpm source bundle contains a converted Language/Haskell/Parser.hs.
I'll do the same for *.hsc and Text/Regex/Posix.hsc.
