 If I first configure an unpacked package inside its source directory

   cabal configure --prefix=/my/path --flags=whatever

 and then afterwards do

   cabal install

 then the configure options I gave before are not recognized by the 'cabal
 install'.

 Instead, 'cabal install' without a package name argument should inspect
 whether the package is already configured and use whatever options have
 been set.
