Use the hoogle library in the hoogle binary #118

Hi,

while uploading a new version of hoogle to Debian I noticed that it re-builds the modules when building the executable. Wouldn’t it make sense to have the executable depend on the hoogle library, so that these modules only need to be built once?

Greetings, Joachim

Yep, that makes sense. Although I've rewritten lots of Hoogle in the repo, so don't intend to both making minor tweaks to Hoogle 4. I'll make sure I do that for Hoogle 5 though.

Now done - the library exports a hoogle :: [String] -> IO () function which I just call from the executable.
