Comment:
You can now add packages to the build relatively easily: just put them
under `libraries/`, and add them to the variable `EXTRA_PACKAGES` (which
must list packages in dependency order). Packages listed in
`EXTRA_PACKAGES` will not be installed by `make install`, but they will be
included in a test suite run.
Also, there is `darcs --extra get`, which grabs some extra packages
(currently deepseq, parallel, and stm, but probably more later). You
still need to define `EXTRA_PACKAGES` in order to build these packages,
though.
I'm going to close this ticket, leaving #3896 to document the build-system
refactoring that we want to do in this area.
