Perhaps all packages should be trusted by default? (Perhaps with some Cabal

of 'ghc-pkg trust' commands to avoid compilation failure with Cabal packages
that use Safe or 'import safe'.
This seems a good change to me. What config option to reverse are you
imagining though? i.e something in a .cabal file? Or a flag for
cabal-install so i could type 'cabal install -no-trust regex-compat'?
Ok, so the first thing is to add options to the configure and register
commands in Cabal, so that these work:
runhaskell Setup.lhs configure -not-trusted
cabal configure -not-trusted
and similarly 'cabal install -not-trusted' (that's in cabal-install).
Then there should be a default setting in cabal-install's configuration
file, which lives in ~/.cabal/config on Unix.
Cheers,
Simon
