---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
This may be related to #223 but I don't particularly want it in my global
config. I'm sick of running "cabal build" and not noticing until much
later that my test had a compile error because I'd neglected to
reconfigure with "--enable-test".
A similar issue happens with packages with custom flags, say sometimes I
lose the "-f-library" flag I sometimes use for faster compilation.
I wish I had a mechanism to remember the command line flags passed in for
a particular package. Editing my global config doesn't seem quite like
what I'm looking for; it has to be something that works, eg. with
different branches of the same package. What might be better for me is
something like the Darcs prefs system, where I could edit a file in the
current working directory like ".cabal" that says something like
{{{
configure --enable-test -f-library
install -fgui
}}}
