I just realized that there's a glaring problem with automatically running tests: if you call '--enable-tests' on a package that doesn't have tests, this gets interpreted as an error. It's an easy fix, but it will _require_ modifying Cabal. So, we probably want to pass on the 'automatically run tests' patch in the next version of cabal-install.
I think this is probably OK. The other patches (which are really a bug fix) can still go in. Running tests automatically is an added feature, so I don't think it will bug people too much if it's delayed until the next release of Cabal.
Sounds reasonable. Lets push the Cabal lib changes into cabal head, but make sure that the cabal-install release branch does not require that fix. Duncan
