My suggestion, and what I'd expect, is to make Shake part of GHC's included lib, just like process or xhtml.
please don't; the only reason we include process and xhtml because we *have* to. The less we *have* to bundle, the better.
If there's a good way in 8.x (with new Cabal and Shake) to avoid bundling, while using Shake for ghc --make, then I'm all for it. My concern is that it has to be as simple as it's currently to install ghc on a random Linux distro, in order for someone to use a Shakefile. I want more Shakefile users :).
