This means we still get to use 'make', we still get to use the .cabal

This is essentially the same approach that nhc98 currently takes to
building libraries.
Right, I was aware that nhc98 uses this method but forgot to mention it.
Thanks for pointing it out.
I think it makes a lot more sense for us to re-use parts of Cabal than to
re-implement the whole thing, although the balance is probably different
for nhc98. Cabal generates the InstalledPackageInfo from the .cabal file,
for example, and this is certainly something we don't want to re-implement.
Cheers,
Simon
