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.

I completely agree, cabal-install is very nice, and should be more widely known.

Fear not, we are working towards a release :-) In fact in just the last couple days I've committed a new dependency resolver which should solve the dreaded diamond dependency problem: http://blog.well-typed.com/2008/04/the-dreaded-diamond-dependency-problem/ It can, for example, construct valid install plans for yi. There are a few more bits to clean up before I enable it by default and ask for wider testing. Duncan
