I kinda like this, package.cabalship (or whatever) might look like:
shipment: shipmentname
version: 1.1 -- inherited by the packages if they have no version num
copyright -- ditto
Another thing we could do w/ a shipment file is specify the location
of .cabal files so you can have them in their own source tree.  So if
you had a source tree like:
src/foo/
        foo.hs
        foo.cabal

src/bar/
        bar.hs
        bar.cabal

then you could have

src/foobar.cabalship:
shipment: foobar
cabal-files: bar/bar.cabal, foo/foo.cabal

peace,
