Comment (by gregorycollins):
The "cabal2macpkg" program will take a .cabal package and turn it into a
mac installer file. I envision it having two modes:
1. take a single .cabal library and make a .pkg file
2. read a .cabal file, turn all of its dependencies into .pkg files,
and package those up together into an .mpkg file.
I've gotten most of the way through the first part; the process goes:
1. find a .cabal file in the current working directory
2. run "cabal build; cabal haddock" into a staging area
3. run "cabal register --gen-pkg-config" and postprocess the results
to generate a registration script that will be run by the OS X
installer
4. turn the staging area into a mac package file using the OS X
developer tools
