Can I use cabal to build packages that incorporates C libraries and FFI Haskell created using c2hs?

Yes you can. Cabal understands a bit about .chs files. I think all you need to do is specify the module in the exposed-modules or other-modules and Cabal will find the .chs file and try to build a .hs file from it. However at the moment your .chs files cannot import each other because Cabal doesn't to any dependency analysis. That means you can't use c2hs's {# import #} hooks. An initial patch was posted to the cabal-devel mailing list to do this properly but it hasn't been integrated yet. Duncan
