I'm not sure what happened with the quote formatting in my original
message; sorry about that. Anyhow, I'd really appreciate it if someone
would chime in about this issue. Is it something silly that I'm not
comprehending about the build system or cabal, or is it a legitimate
bug/deficiency?

Thanks,
Will
