I would like to do some checks in the cabalized HSQL during configure phase. In order to do this I need to know where GHC is installed. I decided to do this in the postConf hook but I have slightly changed Hooks API. The types of all post hooks are:
Args -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ExitCode
It seems like no one is using post hooks at this time so I think that it is safe to do this change. Thoughts?
With defaultUserHooks it would also be useful to pass the stuff in LocalBuildInfo to the configure script. Moreover the contents of <package>.buildinfo aren't really used until the later stages. So really we want postConf :: Args -> ConfigFlags -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ExitCode and we don't need preConf or the postX where X /= Conf. YAGNI, I say.
