Re: Remove Setup.hs, use Setup.lhs only

Hi

In that sense, there's only one value (Custom), but defaultMain is common, and a reasonable number of packages use

main = defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks

I had a value for Distribution.Make.defaultMain too (but I don't know if anyone uses that).

...

Can't the Simple/Custom distinction be simply if the Setup.(l)hs is present or not?

If you have a field, cabal-setup can avoid compiling Setup.[l]hs in the common cases.

Another advantage of not having a Setup.hs file is that you can't get your machine taken over just by installing a package. The library author would have to be much more creative. Thanks Neil
