Hi Alistair! Wow, the author himself :) Dcoutts has suggested this replacement. Reading it in combination with the manual has brought much insight in how powerful cabal can be. He has pasted it : http://hpaste.org/6279 I haven't tried it yet but it looks really nice.
The only thing missing is extending cabal so that configuration fails (thus flags get disabled automatically) if libs/ includes aren't found. Maybe this already works with pkg-config (don't know yet).. Meanwhile I've done the quickest hack just inserting the libs dirs manually and disabling the auto detect features (which works fine for nix), at least ghci -package Takusen no longer shows any errors. The Cabal version I've used is no older than 2 weeks. Alistair, Dcoutts: Thanks for your attention. It's more important getting started with the lib and adding gtk2hs etc than improving cabal. But it's good to know how it can / should be done in the future.
