I ended up turning this around, and basing “ghc-clock-bootstrap” on
“ghc-clock”.  It turns out we already have a bunch of packages that do
the same thing, so all that was needed was to follow those examples.

I committed a similar patch as 71e5d425c9b9e108ebdd06d13de45b56dddd9ef5,
with you as the co-author.  Thanks!
