Ah ha. Then the important thing here is that Cabal doesn't do C or system tests (though this is an open ticket). If someone has some nice Haskell code that could do that, Cabal could actually use it, to replace autotools. After all, Cabal will run whatever 'configure' script there is, written in whatever language. An opening for a new, better feature test system there perhaps, leaving cabal to deal with language flags and distribution. -- Don _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
