Now, the vast majority of Haskell packages doesn't use Setup.hs, because building those packages is simple and the default settings hard-coded into Cabal get the job done just fine. There are packages, however, that ship custom written Setup.hs files that contains plenty of complex build know-how.
As far as I'm aware, Setup.hs is still required/recommended: not _everyone_ uses cabal-install... Cabal itself still uses Setup.[l]hs; how else would you do "runhaskell Setup.hs configure", etc.? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
