Re: RFC: changes to -i flag for finding source files

You can actually make symbolic links (as well as hard links and "directory junctions") on windows. -Edward

+1 from me. I have a lot of projects that suffer with 4 levels of vacuous subdirectories just for this.

In theory cabal could support this on older GHC versions by copying all of the files to a working dir in dist with the expected layout on older GHCs.

That would enable this to get much greater penetration more quickly.

What if you had a "real-src" directory with all your files as they are now, and a "src" symlink pointing inside your directory tree?

I don't think Windows users can enjoy this, but it's a neat idea.
