Comment:
You can use options containing spaces in a .cabal file. You just have to
quote the entire option:
{{{
ghc-options: "--with-rtsopts=-N -qg"
}}}
The whole thing will be passed as a single option. The " will not be
passed.
This escaping (using Haskell String syntax) is documented in the user
guide.
