How can I safely import a package A with a specific version, if it exports different APIs according to a bunch of other conditions? I have to copy all those conditions from A.cabal into my own cabal file, even more the conditions of all such packages with an API that depends on more than the version.
Yes, that's how. I'm not being dense here. I understand the implications of such a choice in a library. But I can easily imagine libraries where the developers will decide to offer slightly different APIs on different platforms, Since we have template haskell and cpp preprocessing available, these scenarios will arise. - Mark
