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.
Not only random Linux distro please! GHC supports a lot of other nice OSes and it would be a pity if shake-based build does not support them too.
Where available via pkgng or pkgsrc, it's also a quick install away. I've mentioned Linux+BSD (and left out Illumos), but subsequently forgot to mention BSDs, etc. here. Sorry about that. Better wording: "as simple as 'pkgmgr install ghc'".
