So I fully appreciate this packaging stuff is sometimes frustrating. I hope you appreciate that it is actually improving.
I already was pleasantly surprised when discovering cabal-install, I think it deserves some more prominence, or even integration into cabal itself, to make everyone aware of the fact that there's such a thing as automatic installation and tempt people to make it work. CPAN, of course, makes its life a lot easier by not caring about outside dependencies at all: You can install GTK bindings without having GTK installed... which of course does not work with Haskell, as things must be linked properly. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
