PS: concerning your last point, about "separating the Simple build system", that might indeed be good. Indeed, the GHC plan described here http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Design/BuildSystem is (I think) precisely using the declarative part but not the build- system part.
The * Use Cabal for Haddocking, installing, and anything else we need to do. bullet point uses the build system part.
Hmm, from the previous discussion I got the impression that (large parts of) this functionality would be extracted from Simple and could then be used by other build systems. Is this wrong? Roman
