remy:

The FindCLibs function in cabal2arch (which I want to include in the archlinux library) report errors for non-Haskell dependencies it cannot translate into ArchLinux package names. Batch running cabal2arch can find some missing items : I attached a list of candidates.

We basically have to run "pkgfile lib$i.so" for $i in this file (pkgfile is a script from the pkgtools package) to know the package name corresponding to a library name.

Note that currently it will also warn if the name is correct. I.e. the user specifies "gsl" and that does correspond to "gsl" on Arch: you still get a warning.
