Is there an example of how to build a Cabal package that has a lexer
generated with Alex and a parser generated with Happy?  As far as I
can tell, the way to do this is to add "Other-Modules:
Module.Name.Of.Parser.y Module.Name.Of.Lexer.x" to each
executable/library stanza. But, when I try this, I get:
Could not find module `GHC.Exts':
      it is a member of package base-1.0, which is hidden
The generated parser code contains:
#if __GLASGOW_HASKELL__ >= 503
import GHC.Exts
#else
import GlaExts
#endif
Also, I don't see any way of passing options to preprocessors using
Cabal. In particular, how do you pass options to Happy?
I am using GHC and Cabal from the CVS head, built about two weeks ago.
You probably forgot to add 'base' to Build-Depends.
