First: Three big cheers to Duncan for his excellent work on cabal, especially the new cabal-install. One feature I think would be uncontroversial is for cabal install to try to build haddock API docs and hscolour'ed sources. Momentarily, I still have to download (or darcs get) the package, unpack and cd into it, and then do cabal configure cabal hscolour cabal haddock cabal install --prefix=my_prefix to have the docs installed, too. Maybe add switches --with-haddock and --with-hscolour to cabal install command? (BTW: what is the trick to get the "source" links into the haddock docs? I remember there was one package I installed where this worked out of the box but I can't find it at the moment.) Another wish on my list is to be able to set defaults for cabal options in my $(HOME)/.cabal/config. Cheers Ben
