  * summary:  how well does sdist work in windows?  is there a better way
  to find 'tar'? = sdist runs tar, which is a
  problem under Windows

Comment:

 It makes sense to take sdist out of the library, as it's not essential for
 building, and would work better with these extra dependencies.  But I'm
 not sure about bundling everything in an all-purpose program.  Small
 special-purpose tools have fewer dependencies and avoid many coordination
 issues.  More of them (cabal-deb, cabal-rpm, cabal-msi, etc) can be added
 by third parties without looking second class.

 Yes.

  But I'm not sure about bundling everything in an all-purpose program.

 coordination issues.  More of them (cabal-deb, cabal-rpm, cabal-msi, etc)
 can be added by third parties without looking second class.

 I don't think it is necessary to bundle everything into one program. I
 think it is good to have everything unified under one command from a user
 interface point of view. For example we should be able to set things up so
 cabal-rpm, cabal-deb etc  provide the rpm and deb commands for the cabal
 tool.

 {{{
 $ cabal --help
 }}}
 should list all commands

 {{{
 $ cabal rpm
 }}}
 should call out to cabal-rpm or whatever helper is registered.
