ghcjs-boot not enough flexibility

[tolysz]

I am playing with ghcjs@8.0 and as it happens it needs more love from stack.

logProcessStderrStdout Nothing "ghcjs-boot" menv' ["--clean"]

is not enough, as the upstram bundle does not have working boot.tar in it. However hardcoding:

logProcessStderrStdout Nothing "ghcjs-boot" menv'
                     [ "--clean"
                     , "--dev"
                     , "--ghcjs-boot-dev-branch", "ghc-8.0"
                     , "--shims-dev-branch", "ghc-8.0"
                     ]

works for my very case, but is not good either.
Maybe if we could pass some extra options from the command line so we could instrument ghcjs-boot somehow easier.

ps.
with this you can boot, but template linking will be broken later...

Thanks for bringing it up? Are you using a booted sdist bundle of ghcjs, and it's still not working?

#652 should cover supporting ghcjs-boot-options. I've added a comment there about it.
