I am successfully using hooks with the following in my .cabal file:

   Build-Type    : Simple

I've been unable to reproduce this -- flipping the build type to Custom has been necessary in every configuration I've tried.  I'd like to see what I'm doing differently -- is this used in a publicly available package I could take a look at?

Magnus is building by directly running the Setup.hs himself, which ignores the Build-Type.  To get cabal-install to use his Setup.hs, the Build-Type must be set to Custom.

Oh, why*2? Why is the header there if it's not used by Cabal, and why does cabal care? Cheers, M -- Magnus Therning                        (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org          Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus         identi.ca|twitter: magthe
