 The .cabal file format allows custom fields beginning with "x-". This
 should be useful for many as yet unthought of extensions, experiments and
 integration with other systems.

 However currently the Cabal library api does not provide access to these
 fields. This should be added, as the subject says as a simple list of
 [(String, String)] name-value pairs.
