Re: cabal-install uninstall ?

The problem I see is that each compiler dependent function has its own post-install actions: GHC has stripExe, updateLibArchive..., Hugs has setPermissions, etc. Maybe, while this refactorization work isn't correctly done, a function could be done to return the list of files to update and the post-install function to execute, which could be a Maybe type associated with a particular file or a group of files. What do you think?

Indeed. We would want to change the installLibs/installExe for each compiler to return a set of files to copy. We can do that without changing to use a proper compiler abstraction. They're independent problems
