Now fixed:
{{{
$ ./Setup build
Preprocessing library pretty-1.0.1.0...
Building pretty-1.0.1.0...
Text/PrettyPrint/HughesPJ.hs:217:7:
Could not find module `System.Directory':
It is a member of the hidden package `directory-1.0.0.2'.
Perhaps you need to add `directory' to the build-depends in your
.cabal file.
Use -v to see a list of the files searched for.
}}}
You only get this extra cabal hint if `-fbuilding-cabal-package` is
passed, and Cabal HEAD now passes this to GHC.
