Hi cafe,

I am trying to link a ".a" file built by a separate makefile into my library. GHC has no problem with it, but I need to convince cabal to do it for the package to be hackage-friendly. There's a thread about this back in 2007:

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cabal-devel/2007-April/000507.html

Is there a method for this now, or is the state of affairs the same as before?

Thanks,
-Ryan
