Personally, I find the whole notion of "installing" libraries problematic. In particular, unless the process of building the libraries is particularly user-directed, local library copies are really de facto caches. And since different application need different library namespaces it seems weird to have a global cache. Searchpath allows you easily to give each application its own namespace and automates import chasing accross the internet. It is a work in progress and is definitely less refined than cabal, but if you are having this sort of issue you might want to try it out.

Hi,
how can install a Cabal package hidden directly? Currently I simply install it and have to hide it afterwards, manually. (Meanwhile one could get a conflict with new exposed modules.)
I've tried "./setup register --gen-script" and edit the file "register.sh", but that does not install the .a file.
