No, it doesn't (myghc--make is a slightly veiled call to ghc --make):

    cd refactorer; ./myghc--make -o pfe -ohi pfe.hi pfe.hs 2>&1 | tee -a log.txt
    c:\ghc\ghc-6.0.1\bin\ghc.exe: -ohi can only be used when compiling a single 
source file

The simplest approach would be to take the presence of -o as a
strong hint that there might be confusion about executables/Main
modules and thus to rename the Main.hi-file as well when -o is 
present.
