With "ordinary" configure scripts, you can finetune installation using flags like --libdir, --bindir, --includedir etc. This doesn't seem to work with Cabal just yet, but I don't think there are any reasons why it shouldn't be implementable. Feature request? =)

I don't see any problem with this, except that there will be a lot of configure flags if we keep this up. That's typical for configure, though.

Yes, this is really a must-have feature: it isn't possible to use setup properly with x86_64 Fedora currently for example, since 64bits libs should be installed under /usr/lib64 there for example.

I filed wishlist bugs for both of these against the debian package haskell-cabal, which is where i'm keeping but reports.

Thanks. Jens
