Did you figure out what you need to know?

Sadly, no.
 
 If not, I would suggest
asking this same question but on StackOverflow (assuming you haven't
already asked there).
 
I missed this question the first time around. Sorry.
 
I don't have a canned answer to your question, but on the wxHaskell team we have recently been working on (ab)using Cabal to produce shared libraries, and almost everything is just as applicable to static libraries. It's not all working yet, but some of the following pointers might help you to understand how to make Cabal linking configurable.

Great suggestion.  Thanks!
