----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 An if/else block which sets the main-is value for an executable based on a
 flag is misparsed when running "cabal sdist" (it's parsed correctly when
 running "cabal install").

 Upon failure, it appears that it's looking for a filename that is the two
 main-is options concatenated together. E.g., I get the error "cabal:
 HackerMain.hsMain.hs doesn't exist".

 The problematic bit looks like:

 if flag(hacking)
   main-is: HackerMain.hs
 else
   main-is: Main.hs

 My entire config can be found on hpaste: http://hpaste.org/44939/yicabal
 (problematic lines around 268).
