it's still a little work to do, but I think I'll be able to try and use Cabal configurations some time next week. Do you guys have any ideas what we could use as a good test case?

The goal is to find out how well the current scheme applies to actual use cases (and if there are serious performance problems to await).

Some suggestions:

 - the base package has a lot of goop in its Setup script, I really hope
   that all, or at least most, of it can be done using configurations

 - we have a few packages that want to do conditional dependencies.  e.g.
   HGL wants to depend on either Win32 or X11.

 - IIRC, gtk2hs has a complex structure that will need a lot of conditional
   stuff in its .cabal file.  Duncan will tell you more.

 - take a look at the old discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED]; there were
   lots of use cases discussed there.

Cheers,
        Simon
