---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
I often find myself writing example code that I'd like to distribute via
cabal, but without further burdening hackage with not generally useful
packages.
The source code has an undocumented(?) option `--remote-repo` that seems
to serve that purpose, but there is little documentation, sometimes
conflicting info, about how to put this to use.

Repo layout descriptions (differs between hackage 1.0 and 2.0, which is
hardcoded in `cabal-install`):
