because unfortunately Cabal has no dependency analysis, and hence, in practice, it is better to keep all modules listed, under on of Expoted-Modules (libraries), Main-Is (executables) and Other-Modules (libs and executables).

That's unfortunate. Is this considered as a bug that will be fixed at some point, or is this by design?

It's a missing feature, or a bug, whichever you prefer.

Yeah, we will need this for proper support other preprocessors too. For example .chs files can have dependencies on each other. Currently Cabal totally ignores that. Perhaps we can pinch the .hs dep chasing code from either GHC or hmake and make it extensible for other pre-processors. But yes the license is important. Duncan
