 cabal init does a recursive search looking for things that look like
 Haskell modules to be added to the exports list.  The following error
 messages were reported by Ivan Miljenovic:

 {{{
   cabal: /scratch/ghc-6.12.1/distrib/installer-scripts/MacOS: does not
 exist
   cabal: /tmp/pulse-a7kaqGHss6Yh/native: inappropriate type
 }}}

 Not sure exactly what causes these errors, but in any case cabal init
 should not crash.
