than
--user and --global

----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Sometimes, it is useful to use alternative target/source package databases
(e.g. for testing that the installation of a package with custom hooks
works, without poisoning the global or user databases).
GHC allows doing that through {{{ghc}}}'s and {{{ghc-pkg}}}'s {{{-package-
conf}}} flag. However, there's no equivalent in Cabal.
Thus, I suggest adding new {{{-package-conf}}} flag to the
{{{configure}}}, {{{install}}} and {{{register}}} commands.
