Summary: Unhelpful panic (incorrect flag)

Initial Comment:
If one gives the incorrect flag -fcontext-stack=X
instead of the correct -fcontext-stackX the compiler
panics instead of complaining about incorrect flags
(bad use of Prelude.read).

Good point.  I've improved this.  It's still not great, but better.

cam-02-unx:~/tmp$ $gpj -c Field.hs -fcontext-stackkk
ghc-6.3: Malformed argument kk for flag -fcontext-stack
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
