"This brings up a feature I have sometimes wanted from Cabal. I'd
like to be able to say the following: "Cabal, find and use package X
if it exists. Furthermore, when CPPing source code, set a #define
HAS_PACKAGE_X so I can do conditional compilation based on the (non-)
avaliablility of package X". Is this possible? Difficult? It seems
like a nice way to handle a number of problems, including platform-
dependencies (as here) and optional features with external
dependencies."
you can add your voice to the peoples requesting this feature (i need
it, too)
I have some changes to Cabal partly finished that will address this. Don't
worry, it's coming.
Cheers,
Simon
