Oops, I guess I misinterpreted "package description". It did sound a little dangerous ;-). What you suggested also worked. I'm in good shape now. Thanks again, -Ryan On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 11:24 AM, Duncan Coutts < duncan.coutts@googlemail.com> wrote:

Well.. mostly victory ;-). I've got it in a state where the .cabal file rewriting works if "cabal configure" is called separately from "cabal build/install" so that the latter reads the modified configuration file.
Yikes! Don't actually modify the .cabal file on disk. I meant just modify the data structure that gets passed around.
As for portability... I'm afraid I don't personally do any development on Windows. Presumably the goal is for hackage packages to work without requiring Cygwin/make/etc?
Right.
