Meaningful file suffixes

File names with "meaningful" suffixes (e.g., `.lhs' or `.o') cause the "right thing" to happen to those files.

`.lhs':
A "literate Haskell" module.
`.hs':
A not-so-literate Haskell module.
`.hi':
A Haskell interface file, probably compiler-generated.
`.hc':
Intermediate C file produced by the Haskell compiler.
`.c':
A C file not produced by the Haskell compiler.
`.s':
An assembly-language source file, usually produced by the compiler.
`.o':
An object file, produced by an assembler.

Files with other suffixes (or without suffixes) are passed straight to the linker.
