Replying to [comment:13 duncan]:
> The file name does not need to be Main.hs, it can be any name.hs that
you like.
Correct.
> The reason we do not support `-main-is` is because it is a ghc-specific
extension that does not work for other Haskell implementations.
You already said that. I explained why this is a moot point. So actually
this can be replaced with "". :)
> Your example is easy to deal with. If you want one module with two
targets, define both targets in one module, then have two other 2-line .hs
files to be the main modules, e.g.:
Aand that’s ''exactly'' what I meant with the pointless “mess”. :)
Ok, I’ll simply not use cabal, and be done with it. It’s not even worth
forking it, since Portage already does everything I don’t want to do
myself.
I know, I don’t pay money and don’t have a contract, so I can not make and
demands anyway. But: FAIL.
