[Agda] [ANNOUNCE] Agda 2.5.1 release candidate 2

[Sergei Meshveliani]

I have the following questions/notes.

1. I have tested it on DoCon-A. It looks all right.

2. In Standard library, I do not find the installation instruction
   (I tried `cabal install', and this has occurred lucky).  

3. I try  
   agda -c $agdaLibOpt +RTS -M9G -RTS  Foo.agda

   ./Foo +RTS -M2G -RTS

, and it reports   "link with the -rtsopts".

I try to insert  -rtsopts  to various places in the line of 

  agda -c $agdaLibOpt +RTS -M9G -RTS  

, and Agda does not accept it.
Please, how precisely needs one to use  -rtsopts ?

Thanks,

------
Sergei
