Summary: ghc-pkg --list-packages-local is the wrong choice

Initial Comment:
I guess adding the --list-packages-local flag to
ghc-pkg wasn't a good thing afterall since
--list-packages is now useless:

~:$ ghc-pkg --list-packages
option `--list-packages' is ambiguous; could be one of:
  -l  --list-packages        List packages in all
config files
  -L  --list-packages-local  List packages in the
specified config file

Could the "local" option be changed to
--list-local-packages? It scans better anyway.

Thanks,
Axel.

Not really a bug in ghc-pkg (as Sven pointed out).  
Nevertheless, I changed the name of the flag.

This is triggered by a buglet in an old version of
System.Console.GetOpt, fixed a long time ago (including GHC
5.04.3). Solution: Bootstrap your GHC with a GHC >= 5.04.3
(or use the short option :-).
