@parcs

Yes, I'm working on this, though I had some delays. One problem is that we've already released Cabal 1.18, so this feature will have to go into Cabal 1.19.

Okay, great.

Do I understand corectly that right now one must pass `+RTS -Nn` to GHC if one wants it to use `n` OS threads?

Nope, passing `+RTS -Nn` is not necessary. The number of capabilities will be set at runtime according to the `-jn` flag. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/910#comment:58 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
