The syntax of different tools is a bit inconsistent: In the BLAH.buildinfo files, the values of e.g. ld-options are space-separated (but not most other list-valued entries in BLAH.cabal). "ghc-pkg describe" lists these as exta-ld-opts (why a different name here?), and these are *comma*-separated. I think this should be cleaned up a little bit.
And while we are at syntax: Regardless of the list separator, we should be able to include it into the values of the list elements, e.g. via "" or '' like shells. The "space" behaviour ;-) of the Cabal syntax is a bit unclear to me in general and seems to be rather ad-hoc...
