1. It seems entries on the extra-lib-dirs line in cabal (GHC 6.6) are
not passed to the linker with -rpath. Instead, you have to do that in
ld-options with "-Wl,-rpath -Wl,mylibdir". The trouble is this is not
portable, as the Darwin (Mac OS X) linker doesn't accept the -rpath
option and (I think) simply uses all -L directories for the runtime path
or some clever thing.
I recommend that either extra-lib-dirs be passed as -rpath (as
appropriate for the platform), or a new field such as "extra-rpath-dirs"
be added.
2. Cabal doesn't recognise "framework-dirs" as a field name, even though
it shows up in "ghc-pkg describe".
