I never thought about that. I've been using Setup.hs with "#!/usr/bin/env runhaskell" and never had any problems.
I guess the only thing that would be gained by using Setup.lhs is the ability to compile the setup program. Is that something that's commonly done?
That's what I do. My normal install procedure is: ghc --make setup setup configure setup build setup install
Though of course these days we can just: cabal install It compiles Setup.(l)hs if necessary or for build types other than Custom it can just do it directly without going via the Setup script. Duncan
