runhaskell doesn't have a --version option

Description

Typing:

$ runhaskell --version

results in:

runhaskell: syntax: runghc [-f GHC-PATH | --] [GHC-ARGS] [--] FILE ARG...

It would be nice to be able to see what GHC version your version of runhaskell points to, since $PATHs can be screwed up and chaos can ensue. Also, the error message should probably refer to "runhaskell" (rather than "runghc") if you invoked "runhaskell".

Thanks for the report. In an ideal world runhaskell --help would only mention the portable flags.
