Well, it *does* mean I'll have to figure out how Cabal actually works...

Usually, it's pretty straight-forward and most options are self-explanatory. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Packaging#The_Cabal_file

Yes, one would *hope* that a 1-module library with no dependencies would be fairly trivial. ;-)

Ah, but it's not as easy as you'd think. The instructions above fail to mention several required or strongly recommended fields. (E.g., apparently Category and Synopsis are both required, Cabal-Version is strongly recommended, several fields are meant to be in the Library subsection...) And then of course there's the question of choosing a licence. But I think I'm nearly there now. Oh, one last thing. I know I'm going to regret this for the rest of my life, but... which version of Base should it depend on?

Also Haddock; I'm thinking some documentation might be nice...

This at least *was* fairly trivial. ;-) [The only hard part being figuring out how to manually run Haddock...]
