Hello again,

I would create a bug for this, except trac is down after massive spamming.

Can someone review this patch? Sorry to be a bother, but the command
'cabal install --enable-tests --only-dependencies' is actually pretty
common for me, since I do a lot of work with 'cabal-dev' (and so am
re-installing dependencies all the time).

Thomas Tuegel (CCed) would be the right person to review this.

If I do

cabal install --enable-tests --only-dependencies

with your patch I wil install test-suite dependencies of the current package (as in the current directory) only right? That seems like the intended effect. cabal configure --enable-tests is not affected, right?
