This will the job for a UserHooks - probably preBuild? - see Distribution.Simple.UserHooks.

Thanks. I tried this, but it appears cabal-install ignores the Setup.hs file. The only way I could get it to take is if I run 'runhaskell Setup.hs configure' directly. I always assumed cabal-install runs Setup.hs under the hood, but apparently not. Why is this?
