Summary: spurious warning for no-main module when using -main-is

Initial Comment:
Excuse me if this is a known bug.  I compile a simple
program with a line like:

ghc -main-is TestCases --make TestCases.hs -o test

And it gives me a warning:

Warning: output was redirected with -o, but no output
will be generated
because there is no Main module.

but it creates the 'test' executable correctly.

This is with ghc version 6.2.

peace,

There were indeed a couple of bugs in -main-is when used in
conjunction with --make in 6.2.  These will be fixed in 6.2.1.

Oops!  I think I'm incorrect, it doesn't seem to generate
the 'test' executable.  I must have been drinking too much
coffee.

That said, I haven't yet figured out how to get --make and
-main-is to play nice together.

peace,

isaac
