Indeed it looks like a mechanism for making multiple packages easier to manage -- rather like RPM provides (from which the terminology is borrowed I think).
It sounds like a really good idea and surely the best way of removing the pressure on providing customization through flags.
So what are we looking for exactly? The use case I was thinking of previously was something like gtk2hs which is made up of a bunch of packages and during development you typically want to build all of them together. Do we need multiple .cabal files in one dir sharing the same Setup.hs? Or just a local environment which links to each package so you can build them by name easily? Duncan
